Have you ever wondered what goes on “behind the scenes” at the National Park Service? The Oceans and Coastal Resources Program (housed in the Water Resources Division) just published our annual report for this year.

MV Wakashio Webinar Series. The grounding on 25 July 2020 of a 300m bulk carrier on a coral reef on the southeastern coast of Mauritius shocked the maritime world. How could it have happened, what went wrong, how would this be dealt with, what were the effects on Mauritius. The incident had some unique characteristics to it: ➡️ The first major marine incident during COVID ➡️ The first major incident involving a vessel using Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) This forced responders to evolve ways of working to reduce the risk of COVID being imported into Mauritius which had escaped its effect and see how VLSFO behaved in large volumes in warm sea water. It was been our privilege to hear from a range of contributors: ➡️ Marine Scientists based on the island and despatched from CEFAS by the UK Government to support marine science response to the incident. ➡️ Responders from PolyEco who were contracted by the Mauritius Government to assist in the clean-up of the spill and manage the waste disposal. ➡️ Manufacturers who were providing equipment used in the spill. ➡️ Incident Commander sent by IMO to support the Mauritius Government. The objective of the webinar series has been to inform and educate but also make accessible the lessons that can be learned from a major incident like this. We hope that this has been a useful series of 6 webinars that follow the incident to the final webinar which highlights what has been learned….
