A Chinese coal ship has been left stranded near the Australian Great Barrier Reef, feverously leaking oil. Many speculate that this is effecting the coral reefs, which are already endangered as it is. The ship's engine and rudder are damaged, therefore it cannot be moved to shore easily. There are 975 tons of fuel on board, which could affect many marine species, including turtles, dugongs, marine birds, and the coral reefs.
