Caption: Around 37 km north of Beirut, the port at Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited ports in the world dating back 7,000 years to early Phoenician civilization. In the Quay wall area of the Port, USAID washed and painted 100 fishing boats, as well as supplied them with new ropes and rigging. Approximately 2,100 bags of oiled waste were removed from the Byblos area. A low pressure, hot water powerwash was used in addition to a special oil release agent to clean some of the structures.
