A boat floats on polluted water on the coast of Salamis Island on September 13th, 2017, in Salamis, Greece. The small tanker, Agia Zoni II, sank on September 10th while anchored off the coast of Salamis, near Greece's main port of Piraeus. It was carrying a cargo of 2,200 tons of fuel oil and 370 tons of marine gas oil. Salamis Island has suffered heavy pollution as a result, in what has been called a "major environmental disaster" by officials.
