9810 North Coast Sensitive Sites

Excerpt: "The North Coast Area includes 82 environmentally sensitive sites. Many of these sites have individual response strategies that may be considered as guidelines for response when the threat of oiling creates the need to deploy protective measures. In some cases, more than one strategy is included for a given site due to variations in a site’s profile from one visit to another. The strategies presented should be considered a “last line of defense” to prevent oil from entering a specific environmentally sensitive site. Certainly, every effort to contain and recover the discharged oil while it is on the water should be made prior to employing the exclusionary booming measures that many of the strategies call for."
