Tauranga oil spill: A look inside the clean up
Bay of Plenty Times photographers John Borren and George Novak have been out documenting the clean up of the large oil spill in Tauranga Harbour this week. Workers in protective gear cleaned parts of the shoreline in Maungatapu, piling oil-coated vegetation and debris into plastic bags along the shore.
