On February 5, cyclone Oma pushed MV Solomon Trader off its course causing an oil spill that could possibly destroy UNESCO protected site, East Rennell.
The see-saw battle on cleaning up the oil spill in Nigeria might finally come to an end after Shell assured that they will begin sorting out the problem in April.
Upon request of the Oiled Wildlife Care Network's (OWCN) Unified Command, SeaWorld deployed two members of the Animal Rescue Team early Sunday morning to assist with efforts at the Refugio Beach oil spill off the Santa Barbara coast. At 3:45am today SeaWorld deployed a third member of the Animal Rescue Team. All three have specialized training through the OWCN and experience with oiled wildlife.
