Canadian Coast Guard and Ahousaht First Nations remove two leaking, hazardous boats from Ahousaht Harbour, posing environmental threats.
The Canadian Coast Guard and Ahousaht First Nations have removed two hazardous boats from Ahousaht Harbour, near Tofino, which were leaking fuel and posing environmental threats. The boats were deemed unsafe and required clean-up. The wood troller was removed from the water and the seiner remains docked but no longer poses a pollution risk. The coast guard emphasizes the importance of vessel owners maintaining their boats to prevent marine hazards and pollution, as they are responsible for the costs of damage caused by pollution originating from their vessels.
