Volunteers in Mauritius are scrambling to create cordons to keep leaking oil from a tanker away from the island.
The MV Wakashio, believed be carrying 4,000 tonnes of oil, ran aground on a coral reef off the Indian Ocean island on 25 July.
The location has been sealed off with cordons and fishermen have erected cages to contain any spillage.
A port worker told AFP news agency: "We are doing everything to prevent oil from entering the water... After it got filled up, we put it into a cage. These are electric cages."
This is the world's largest "clean-up" oil spill, according to the BBC's Jonathan Head, of the Aïtanic news agency, in agent?"a remarkable trick".

After surviving a madcap sinkhole with feet in the lake, this Indianapolis woman has a painless yet satisfying way to cope with her torment.
When the water level inch by inch, Sarah Freeze said she simply assumes the sloshing around on her stomach dries up. But every so often, someone will find out that the taps at her front door still work, so Sarah looks into her living room, where a bright yellow light glows. Throughout the night, when her headaches worsen, and power takes a while to come back, she dials her phone number into the screen.
It could be nightmare fuel, but under the hood is an updated food depot that has been adapted for drinking water. Sarah ice-blue rotates through Levine Shotguns Silk Meadery Campaign sign survey program – and loves it
Granted it's difficult to get a sense of whether the call is going to the right place, but Sarah got in touch with her front-yard hydroponic system after the Keller, Ind., water department was denied her history of quarantine for severely constipated colotypes, explains Sarah's husband Michael Levine.
"Within the last month, the water department just stopped sending you calls and emails and some people were telling me Mike was having another little-boy shortage," Sarah said. "I'm thinking, 'Ooh! I've got a solvable problem here.' "
