A man cleans up waste from a sea area where water has turned red in Xiamen, a port city in east China's Fujian Province Saturday, April 21, 2007. No sewage pipe has been found along the colored coast, about three kilometers long. An oceanographer with Xiamen University said the red sea water might be a result of red tide, but stressed further examination has to be carried out before a conclusion can be drawn.
