Coordinated response helped protect orcas during fuel spill off B.C. coast: NOAA
A U.S. oceans and environment authority has credited a coordinated response in ensuring protection for endangered orcas as a sunken boat spilled fuel between Greater Victoria and Washington State last summer.
NOAA’s fisheries arm, Washington’s Department of Fish and Wildlife , Fisheries and Oceans Canada and other volunteer agencies activated their spill response plan for killer whales within hours of the vessel sinking, according to a news release. “The Aleutian Isle response was a reminder that, even with all of the positive efforts to prevent and prepare for spills, the southern residents live in an urban environment,” NOAA said, noting the three whale pods sometimes gather to form a superpod.
