F/V Pacific Bully; Santa Ana jetty, CA.
Santa Ana jetty, CA.
1. At approximately 0430hrs (local) on 20APR2010, the 58foot F/V Pacific Bully ran aground near the Santa Ana Jetty, south of Huntington Beach, CA with 600-700gallons of diesel and 40tons of sardines on board. No signs of pollution have been reported from overflights or by personnel on-scene and her tanks are being sounded regularly to monitor fuel levels. The NOAA SSC had been notified initially by USCG's D-11 Command Center. Subsequent discussions with USCG Sector LA/LB personnel resulted in a request for a oil fate & trajectory estimates as a precaution in the event the vessel cannot be removed during the afternoon's high tide.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 700 GALLONS. TAGS: GROUNDING.
3. POSITION 33.630N 117.961W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8219: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8219
