Overview
- The interagency group responding in Tamaulipas reports about 6.4 metric tons of oil removed from affected Gulf beaches.
- Navy crews from Semar covered roughly 17 kilometers across Puerto Mezquital and Playa Bagdad and collected about 236 kilograms of residue.
- Conibio Global, an environmental group, reported a second tar-like block on Playa Bagdad measuring about 1.2 by 1 meters and weighing over 100 kilograms.
- The coordinated task force includes federal environment, energy, maritime, safety, and fisheries agencies alongside Pemex and local authorities.
- Officials warn the contamination threatens wildlife, coastal ecosystems, fishing, and tourism, so continued patrols aim to catch new deposits before they spread.
