The update comes as the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies work to recover the 15-metre Aleutian Isle that went down Saturday with about 10,000 litres of oil and diesel aboard.

Five crew members were saved, but the vessel now lies in roughly 60 metres of water near San Juan Island in Haro Strait, about 25 kilometres east of Victoria.
