The repeated incidents of pollution in the sea of Limassol are causing concern, as the images from the beaches and the complaints of citizens bring the issue back to the forefront. The issue was discussed yesterday at the Shipping Deputy Ministry, with the competent services and local authorities putting on the table the possible sources of pollution and the measures that must be taken to limit the incidents.

From what was said publicly today, it follows that the possible sources of pollution are many and different. Discharge pipelines, sewage treatment plants, interception vessels and ships, fish farms and rainwater are among the activities being considered. The aim is now to complete the recording and to follow specific checks and clear answers about the origin of the incidents.

However, there is a very simple reason not to leave such documents behind: there is no reason to give a stranger a single piece of information about our banking transactions.
