   1. The 80-foot F/V Westerly, preparing for crab fishing in Glacier Bay National Park with crab pots stacked high on its decks, was rendered unstable by high winds. The vessel sank just south of Strawberry Island in 37 fathoms of water with roughly 1,500 gallons of diesel onboard. Because the high winds made on-site assessment impossible, the National Park Service (NPS) conducted overflights. The overflights showed minor sheening for several days, decreasing to nothing. No response was possible or necessary. Salvage possibilities were discussed with NPS personnel, who would have liked to have the vessel removed, but recognized the risk and expense for such an operation may make removal impossible. The case was closed on February 18. USCG district 17. Keyword: none.
   2. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 0 GALLONS.

   1. On March 28, 2024, the USCG Sector San Francisco notified their NOAA SSC of a potential pollution case involving the 39 foot, wooden hulled F/V WESTERLY grounded on Point Reyes near Drakes Bay. At the time of the call, search & rescue (SAR) operations were underway and the pollution potential was not known. An update call at 1545 hrs indicated the vessel was on the rocks, had a maximum potential of 400 gallons diesel on board and access to the site from both land and water was severely restricted due to terrain, rocky shoreline, and surf conditions. Due to high concern for the vessel breaking up before pollution could be properly mitigated, USCG requested oil fate & transport information to inform potential risks and timing to local sensitive areas.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 400 GALLONS.
