Desastre ecológico en Lima: fauna marina podría tardar unos 10 años en recuperarse

Reciente derrame de petróleo en el mar peruano no solo puede ocasionar la muerte de varios animales, también tiene el potencial de provocar malformaciones embrionarias.

Lima. Las imágenes obtenidas en los últimos días han sido impactantes: aves flotando sin vida en medio de un mar negro o incapaces de moverse debido a la capa viscosa del petróleo que las cubre totalmente.

Lima enfrenta sin lugar a dudas uno de los peores desastres ecológicos de los últimos años. Cabe preguntarse: ¿Qué efectos tendrá este derrame de petróleo en la fauna marina?
