The South Gujarat coastline has suffered form the oil spillage from the unknown reason. There are tar balls coming to the coastline and oil diposition has taken place. The oil came to the shore was firstly guessed by people as chemical. There were first information came from the Valsad Tithal beach about the oil balls coming from the sea. The GPCB has taken the samples of the material diposited. The Analysis of the oily sludge from the Valsad Tithal Beach by Gujarat Pollution Control Board revealed that this is the crude oil as it contained 544 gm/kg of oil and grease. The oil and grease diposition is very serious to the coastal environment and bio diversity. It has come to shore so there is no option left to remove it manually and recycle by waste oil recycler or dispossed off in to secured landfill site TSDF.
