Special Considerations
AEB-12-01 Reese Bay
Nearshore waters in thegeneral area of:
Lat. 54º 00.6 NLon. 166º42.9 W
Free-oil RecoveryProtected Water
Maximize free-oil recovery inthe offshore & nearshoreenvironment of Reese Baydepending on spill location andtrajectory.
Deploy free-oil recovery striketeams upwind and up current ofReese Bay.
Use aerial surveillance to locateincoming slicks.
Deploy multiple free-oil recoverystrike teams as required tomaximize interception of oilbefore it impacts sensitive areas.
