- The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change released draft Tar Balls Management Rules, 2026, to protect coastal areas from pollution.
- Tar balls are small, sticky lumps of oil found floating in the sea or on beaches.
- They are formed when spilled crude oil undergoes weathering processes like evaporation, mixing with water, and hardening.
- Tar balls contain hydrocarbons, asphaltenes, and impurities like sand and microplastics.
- They harm marine life like fish, birds, and turtles, and can damage coral reefs and sea grass.
