In response to a sunken fishing vessel in the San Juan Islands, WAHOO served as the On Scene Commander for nearly two weeks. We ensured safety of personnel and equipment during the pollution response efforts and the inherently dangerous salvage operation. We also stood poised with oikomi acoustic pipe to deter Southern Resident Killer Whales, an endangered species in the Pacific Northwest, from entering the salvage site during recovery operations. 📸: @uscg_sectorpugetsound and BM2 Ahlin #USCG #PNW #SanJuanIsland #SRKW #EndangeredSpecies #MarineEnvironmentalProtection #SemperParatus #AlwaysReady #GoCoastGuard
