巴西上週六(3日)傳出漏油事件,一艘船隻於靠港時觸撞一塊防波堤,至少2,600加侖原油流入瓜納巴拉灣。當局初估油污僅影響四分之一區域大小,然而在仔細堪察後便向上修正原先估計。受油汙染的瓜灣,其西南與東南方分別接壤著里約熱內盧與尼泰羅伊兩城。

Authorities first thought the oil spill was one-quarter that size, but after inspecting the extent of the spill, the revised their estimate upwards. The bay borders two cities – on its southwest shore is the city of Rio de Janeiro and on its southeast shore lies the city of Niterói.
