An oil spill off Mauritius threatens one of the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystems. Happy Khambule is Greenpeace Africa's Climate and Energy Campaign Manager, and tells the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV’s Frey Lindsay about the impact on the island’s tourism. Bloomberg's oil analyst Julian Lee explains why the MV Wakashio was so close to Mauritius in the first place.
