Beaches across the Emirate of Sharjah have reopened following the successful containment of marine pollution and the treatment of damage caused by an oil spill from a tanker, the Sharjah Government Media Bureau announced on Thursday.

Authorities have confirmed that the emirate’s beaches and marine environment are safe for the public, allowing residents and visitors to visit and enjoy various marine activities.

The reopening follows the completion of thorough environmental assessments and monitoring operations, which confirmed that the affected area is free from any public health risks or marine environment pollution.

Authorities urged the public to obtain information only from official channels, and to avoid circulating rumours or unverified reports. They also praised the community for cooperation throughout the response and clean-up operations.

Monitoring and surveillance activities will continue around the clock to ensure the safety and sustainability of the marine environment, authorities added.
