Oil spill threatens Spain's fishing industry
Waves of black sludge from the Prestige disaster tar coastal Galicia as the regional government widens a fishing and shellfish ban to cover 186 miles. About 2.7 million gallons of fuel oil leaked from the Bahamas-flagged tanker after hull failure, with cleanup costs estimated at 42 million dollars. Local fishermen harvest shellfish under threat while authorities deploy oil barriers and multinational vessels assist in the response.
