Cosco Busan Leaves Traces of Fuel at the Bay

WEDNESDAY, 26 DECEMBER 2007
SAN FRANCISCO - Tests showed that the Bay still has traces of spilled fuel in shoreline fish-breeding habitats.
The test conducted by the California Department of Fish and Game biologist Ryan Watanabe and herring fisherman Dennis Deaver checked signs of fuel on the floor at 500 feet of the shoreline.
Fishing experts say that the test result is scary enough to halt the winter's commercial herring that would normally have started this month.
The Cosco Busan, a Hong Kong-based container ship, spilled 58,000 gallons of shipping fuel into the Bay last month after hitting onto a tower of the Bay Bridge. Earlier reports showed that the fuel spread from Drakes Bay south to San Mateo County.
