As tourist season approaches, people in Croatia are working fast to clear miles worth of oil clumps that mysteriously drifted ashore along the Adriatic coast last year.
No official explanation has been given for the pollution, which has stuck, in small patches, to the rocks and wild limestone beaches near the town of Pula. The regular beaches have been cleaned.
Tourism accounts for 20% of Croatia's economy which has only just begun recovering from the coronavirus pandemic.
