According to a press release, the fishing vessel Jack M. reported an equipment malfunction that spilled an unknown quanity of diesel fuel into the harbor.

A body found at the entrance to New Bedford Harbor on Saturday is likely that of a fisherman reported missing earlier this month — although state police say positive identification is pending.
