Long-term impact on fish from fuel spill

Regarding the fuel spill into Goldstream River, how many trucks in the last three years have had close calls of this happening? It has always been on the radar and never addressed.

The devastation of these important salmon in Goldstream park will have long term effect on returning stocks not for just one year, but many yearly cycles. These salmon all return at different times, from one to eight year cycles.

How do we measure impacts on sea life and invertebrates First Nations have harvested in this area for centuries?
