Draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:

Whereas oil has been leaking from the sunken freighter and is destroying seabirds in the area and impacting the total marine environment;

Whereas the oil continues to leak from the sunken freighter and it now appears unlikely that a permanent fix can be made to the fractured hull;

Therefore, your petitioners call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to request the Ministers of Fisheries and Oceans, the Environment, and Transport to take action to provide a permanent solution by removing the oil from the Manolis L, thereby preventing a major environmental disaster in this massive ecosystem.
