A picture of what appears to be an oil spill in Vancouver Harbour had officials searching – but turning up no firm answers.
The picture, posted on Facebook last week and taken by a drone, shows dark lines in water near a grain terminal in North Vancouver.
Dan Bates with Fisheries and Oceans Canada says they were alerted to the photo on Tuesday.
He says Port Metro Vancouver searched the location and found nothing, and said they had spoken to the photographer who says it was taken on January 28.
The day before, there was heavy rain, leaving that area of the harbour heavily silted.
It appears a tug in the area may have stirred the silt.
Bates adds if it had been bunker oil, people living and working in the area would have smelled it.
