A barge stalled in the waters off the B.C. coast continues to take on water.

The freight barge had been transiting from Alaska to Seattle on Monday afternoon and was passing through the Fisher Channel, just east of Bella Bella, when the tug pulling the load reported the incident to the Canadian Coast Guard.

“There are very unique ecosystems here, you know, hundreds of salmon streams, important habitat, clam beds,” William Housty with the Heiltsuk Nation said.

“There’s a laundry list of ecological reasons why we are concerned about this response.”
