Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Sihanoukville: A surprise took place in Sihanoukville on 15 may when about 2-square-kilometer of seawater near the O’Vietnam, close to the Sihanoukville port, turn red as if color was added to it. Report indicated that the sea turned red at around 1:30 PM.

The surprised local villagers said that they have never seen such a phenomenon before where the blue water turn red like this. Because of the water color change, people are suspecting that it is a dumping of colorant left over from the fabric factory located about 1 kilometer from the sea. Nevertheless, this is only a suspicion because the factory has been in operation for 5-year already, but nothing ever happened before.

The authority and the experts did not provide any explanation yet, they only indicated that they are looking for the source of the color change. In the afternoon of 15 May, no clue has been found yet.

    The same thing happen to the U.S coast line. It could be a "RED TIDE" phenomenon. This website might be useful for the government officials in Cambodia to understand the effects and to control the situation. RED TIDE LINK: http://www.start1.com/redtide/effects.aspx

    No Red Tide would be poisonous and toxic. And its caused by a type of Algae that probably isnt even present around that part of Cambodia. I suspect chemicals being dumped into the ocean.

    Fuck, 11:50, that means the red
    tide is created by the US. They
    must be held accountable to clean
    it up before someone get seriously
    hurt. Ah Khmer-Gringoes is the
    source of all this. They have been
    known to pollute everyplace they
    go and causing all sort of
    environmental damages.
