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.Locations:Aotearoa-Mount Maunganui-Oceania-Papamoa Beach-TaurangaDate:15 Oct, 2011Credit:© GreenpeaceDuration:3m4sAudio format:NaturalProduction Type :CLIPREELKeywords:Accidents-Army-Beaches-Cargo ships-Cleaning-Coastlines-Containers-Gloves-KWCI (GPI)-Machinery-Marine pollution-Oceans (campaign title)-Oil (fossil fuel)-Oil (Industry)-Oil spills-Oiled beaches-Protective clothing-Sand-Toxics (campaign title)-Tractors-VolunteersShoot:Oil Spill Clean Up and Wildlife Rescue in New ZealandEnvironmental impacts after a freight carrying ship, the Rena, ran aground on Astrolabe reef off Tauranga in New Zealand's Bay of Plenty on October the 5th.
