A North Vancouver Island First Nation is closing several beaches to clam harvesting after thousands of litres of diesel fuel spilled into an inlet at a fish farm near the community of Zeballos.
Up to 8,000 litres of diesel fuel spilled into Esperanza Inlet on Saturday while it was being transferred, due to what Grieg Seafood, the Norway-based company that operates the fish farm, called human error.
