We were enjoying being away from the concrete jungle, speeding along enjoying the breeze and the spray of water and then suddenly it became apparent we were surrounded by dead fish..... Rather perturbing! We filled the next 5 minutes playing "spot the dead fish", the fish were quite large and easy to spot, however after counting well over 20 in the space of a couple of minutes we became a little grossed out and decided to stop to avoid ruining the remaining time we had.
There have been many articles/studies published on the conditions of Kuwait's waters, studies claim kuwait takes a top spot in the table of marine environment pollution. One of the most concerning suggested sources of pollution comes from the sewage plant which leaks untreated sewage into the sea, this sewage contains bacteria, viruses and parasites that may result in a vast array of health problems inclusive of cholera! The shores are also littered with rubbish, people sit down and enjoy with friends and family and leave all their rubbish behind! Littering is a big problem here in kuwait! Poor planet!
