Oil Spill Beach Clean Up in New Zealand
Locals clean up oil that covers a section of beach between Mount Manganui and Papamoa. It comes from the Rena, a container ship that ran aground the Astrolab Reef, about 20km from Tauranga. Oil from the vessel escaped once the vessel began to break up after being pounded on the reef by heavy seas and has reached surrounding beaches and islands, coating rocks and killing birds and fish. 88 containers have fallen off the ship after it began to list and have drifted on currents as has the escaped oil more than 130km south down to the East Cape.
