Oil Slicks and Spills--Washington State - 3

A cooperative of 14 oil pipeline and marine companies placed a 58-foot oil recovery vessel called the Clean Sounder into service. They claim it is the largest and most advanced skimmer in the country. The Clean Sounder cost $720,000 and was built by the Marine Construction and Design Co. of Seattle. The vessel should be able to pick up 600 gallons of oil per minute. The boat's purpose is to increase the capacity of the Clean Sound Cooperative to handle accidental oil spills in the Sound. It joined four other skimming vessels in Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham, and Anacortes. The skimmer has twin hulls and is powered by water jet propulsion units. The skimmer used two oil attracting belts to pick up oil from the surface, and that oil is squeezed from the belts and stored aboard. The vessel was designed specifically for Puget Sound.

Oil Slicks and Spills--Washington State - 8

Back of Photo:
Governor Booth Gardner and Alice Bertner looked at some of the 2700 live birds that have been collected for a cleaning process to save them from the deadly effects of an oil spill that has washed up on the Washington coast. She serves as "Director of Rehabilitation" at the bird hospital that has been set up in the Ocean Shores Convention Center. These are some of the healthiest birds. They are in an outdoor test tank to see if they are clean enough to float. If they pass the test, they are to be released in one of three areas: Nisqually Reach (near Anderson Island); Sequim Bay; or Discovery Bay. 660 birds have been hand-washed since December 24. More than 2500 dead birds have also been collected.
The governor said bird-cleaning efforts will probably continue through the rest of the month. The birds in this photo are called "murre." AP Writer David Ammons is writing a story telling about the governor's visit. It will move on the wire Wednesday afternoon.

As early evening moves into dusk....
19-year-old Tacoma resident Janine Absten (right) and 19-year-old Sean Brown (Tacoma) light candles as part of a protest (and vigil) that was joined by 150 others at Owen Beach this evening. The group was concerned by the recent oil spill in Alaska and spent the time discussing the issues surrounding the incident and voicing feelings thereof. The group, with many families and children present created no problems for park officials who earlier were concerned that the protest might grow out of hand, possibly resulting in damages. After the gathering members left the park.
