A major incident has been declared close to the millionaire's row of Sandbanks after reservoir fluid leaked into the water at Poole Harbour.
It occurred in an underwater pipeline, leaking about 200 barrels of fluid - which can contain oil - into the internationally important body of water.
Poole Harbour Commissioners (PHC) has put an oil spill plan into action and warned the public not to swim in the surrounding area until further notice.
Poole Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in the world, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA).
