Title from agency website (viewed on November 18, 2019). Series of interpretive panels located at 24 sites along the Oregon coastline. In February 1999, the 640-foot freighter New Carissa ran aground north of Coos Bay during a major winter storm, releasing an estimated 140,000 gallons of fuel into the marine environment. An estimated 2,465 seabirds were killed or injured by the spill, including the threatened western snowy plover and marbled murrelet. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and five other natural resource trustees reached a $28 million settlement with the ship's owner and the U.S. Coast Guard for restoring species harmed by the spill. As a part of the settlement, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service secured $440,000 in funding to create a public education project aimed at protecting seabirds and marine mammals along the entire coast of Oregon. This archived document is maintained by the State Library of Oregon. It is for informational purposes and may not be suitable for legal purposes. Paid for using restoration funds from the 1999 New Carissa oil spill by U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Oregon State Parks, Oregon Fish & Wildlife, U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, US Forest Service, Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, Siuslaw, and Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.
