About 875,000 litres of Bunker Coil were spilled, leading to widespread oiling of beaches along the coasts of Washington and Vancouver Island, with heavy mortality of seabirds. A total of 10,336 oiled birds were collected on beaches in Washington: 7244 were found dead, 2065 died or were euthanized at treatment centres, and 1027 were cleaned and released (Ford et al.1991)"--Introd.
