Crews fight advance of 'black tide' on Spain
Winds gusting up to 66mph were pushing what Spaniards call a "black tide" towards more of the shellfish-raising stretch of the country's north-west Galicia region, which has a 400 million-a-year fish and seafood industry.
Particularly vulnerable is the Muros inlet, where officials say they have no floating barriers to keep out the toxic fuel oil that has already contaminated 90 beaches along nearly 180 miles of coast since the Bahamas-flagged tanker ruptured on November 13. It finally split in two and sank on Tuesday.
