Peru oil spill leaves jobless fishers in despair

The clean-up has been continuing, a month after a major oil spill at a Repsol facility in Peru. The Spanish oil giant hopes to have cleared the spill by the end of March. Peru’s environmental assessment and control agency could impose an $80m fine to Repsol while some of its executives have been barred from leaving the country. Local fishers take no solace in that; they say the damage done will last for years, quashing their ability to make a living from now on.
