Tar is being washed up on Guernsey beaches, but is not causing too many problems. Ian McKewan, of the States Works Department, said the workforce was managing to deal with it as part of their routine beach-cleaning operations.
At the moment, the wind direction is bringing the pollution onto the west coast.
But Mr McKewan warned that if the wind changed direction, the South Coast could also be affected.
The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said they had received no reports of seabirds being affected by the tar.
