| | Monday, 25 November, 2002, 13:49 GMT In pictures: Spanish oil clean-up Hundreds of volunteers are working to clear oil from Spanish beaches. Wildlife and fishing grounds have been badly affected by oil from the tanker Prestige, which is now lying on the seabed with most of its cargo intact.  UP to 600 people are digging through the sludge  Waves heavy with oil are still pounding the shore...  ...and volunteers fear fresh oil will be washed ashore  Clearing the oil means heavy work in filthy conditions  The slicks have already taken their toll on wildlife  The battle is on to save birds found alive in the oil  Fishing boats have been left high and dry...  ...and seafood stocks have been devastated | |
