He called it "one of the planet’s most shocking environmental disasters."
The thing is, though, that this isn't news. It has been an ecological disaster for years. A "once thriving seaside village" does not become a struggling village 60 miles from the shore over night (quoting a story I heard about the subject over the weekend).
I wonder what has happened that has made this news all of a sudden, now that it is probably too late to act.
(Yes, I know. Soviet Union. Closed borders, blah, blah, blah. The border's been "open" for years....)
And it is strange how things seem to cluster together like that.
