The oil spills from the Gulf War ............
One of the world's most polluted bodies of water,
the Persian Gulf pays heavily for its role as the
Middle East's oil highway. A quarter of a million
barrels of oil pollute it each year, yet the gulf takes
more than five years to flush contaminated water
through the narrow strait of Hormuz. Oil aside, gulf
water is in places one and a half times more saline
than the oceans. Still, numerous life-forms thrive on
the shallow western side, where it is possible to
stand chest deep in water two miles out. These
shallows are ideal habitat for algae, the bottom link
in a food chain that has made the western gulf a
prime fishery for millennia. The shallows were also
the final resting place for the Gulf War oil spills,
given prevailing winds and currents.
