   Recreational Vessel CAIRDEAS Sinking, Sinclair Inlet; Bremerton, Washington.
   G8RJ+8M Navy Yard City, WA, USA.
   1. On September 7, 2025 the recreational vessel CAIRDEAS sank in Sinclair Inlet near Bremerton, Washington. A diesel sheen was observed from the vessel and boom was placed to contain the discharge. Divers secured all vents and the discharge appears to have stopped. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) ordered the owner to develop a salvage plan to recover the vessel. The plan produced by the owner was deemed insufficient by the USCG and a contract salvage firm has been engaged to develop a suitable plan. A Unified Command has been established to manage the incident. The NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator has been engaged to review the Resources at Risk Summary (ICS 232) and coordinate an Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation with National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Additional support for spot weather forecasts is anticipated to be needed when salvage efforts [...]

   Sunken Tug at Marina; Bremerton, Washington.
   120 Washington Beach Ave, Bremerton, WA 98337, USA.
   1. Approximately 1500 local time on Sept. 17, 2025, the Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) for the Northwest was notified by the State of Washington that the 130-foot tugboat Dominion had sunk at Bremerton Marina in Washington State. A Unified Command was formed, consisting of the U.S. Coast Guard and the Washington Department of Ecology. It was reported that the tug contained an unknown amount of diesel fuel and about 200 gallons of lube (motor) oil when it sank. Maximum potential diesel discharge was 44,000 gallons. The Coast Guard and the State have requested trajectory support from NOAA for the initial Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT) survey. Update: The SSC attended on-scene on Sept. 19. An oil spill response organization had deployed several layers of boom and was cleaning via skimmer. No oiling was observed onshore from the recent shoreline assessments. With booming [...]

   Recreational Vessel Sunk in Commencement Bay; Tacoma, Washington.
   5410 marine view drive Tacoma, WA, USA.
   1. At 1620 on September 19, 2025, the Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) for the Northwest was notified of the sinking of a 60-foot recreational vessel with a total fuel capacity of 800 gallons. The owner of the vessel believes there could be 400-600 gallons of diesel fuel aboard. There has been some sheen observed in the water around the vessel, but based on a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) drone overflight, impacts appear confined to the marina. The SSC is working with National Marine Fisheries Service, USCG, and the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife on orca activity in the area.

On October 30, 2025, the on-call NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) was notified by Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) of a grounded fishing vessel near Indianola Spit in the Puget Sound. No pollution has been discharged, but a possible worst case discharge is 500 gallons. WDFW and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) responded on scene and reported two deceased porpoises. Both Washington state and USCG requested SSC assistance to report these marine mammal deaths.
