Fish and Game said that, as of Monday, the visible sheen had not extended into Olga Strait or into Krestof Sound, where herring openers have occurred in the past.
Western Mariner, an 83-foot tug, ran aground in Neva Strait March, 21, 2022, while towing Chichagof Provider, a 286-foot container barge. No injuries were reported.
Sarah Moore is a spokesperson for the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. She said response teams were still working to remove fuel from the damaged fuel tank and had successfully patched all of the holes in the tugboat’s hull as of Monday evening. Sitka area management biologist Aaron Dupuis said Fish & Game would begin assessing potential impact on the fishery and subsistence harvest.
