520 |a"On 23 December 1988, the barge Nestucca was damaged off Gray's Harbor, Washington and 875,000 litres of Bunker C oil was spilled along a swath over the continental shelf. As the slicks drifted northward, they passed through concentrations of seabirds off Washington and Vancouver Island. This resulted in the direct mortality of an estimated 56,000 seabirds (Ford et al. 1991, Burger 1993). Many more seabirds, shorebirds and scavenging birds were debilitated and perhaps died from oiled plumage or the toxic effects of ingesting oil (Rodway et al. 1989, Larsen and Richardson 1990, Ford et al. 1991, Burger 1993a)"--Introd.
