The Bureau of Land Management California (BLM CA) is offering this grant to support the North Coast Seabird Protection Network. This grant is for the critical purpose of protecting and restoring seabirds and coastal habitats in the North Coast region, specifically addressing impacts from past oil spills. Established through the Kure/Stuyvesant Restoration Fund, this initiative was created following significant environmental damage. The M/V Kure oil spill in 1997 released 4,500 gallons into Humboldt Bay, and the M-V Stuyvesant spill in 1999 saw 2,100 gallons enter the Pacific, spreading widely. Both incidents severely affected coastal beaches and wildlife, resulting in documented injuries and fatalities among seabirds between Humboldt Bay and Trinidad. This funding aims to continue efforts to safeguard these vulnerable marine bird populations.

| Description: | The North Coast Seabird Protection Network (NCSPN) is one of a series of projects funded by the Kure/Stuyvesant Restoration Fund. On November 5, 1997 M/V Kure released 4,500 gallons of oil into Humboldt Bay resulting from a fuel tank puncture on a Louisiana Pacific dock piling near Samoa, California. On September 6, 1999, the dredge M-V Stuyvesant spilled approximately 2,100 gallons of oil into the Pacific Ocean near the mouth of Humboldt Bay, near Eureka, California. Strong winds after the discharge event spread the oil nearly 15 miles offshore and north to Patrickâ¿¿s Point near Trinidad. The spills affected coastal beaches and wildlife along the Humboldt County coast. Wildlife response efforts collected and documented the injured and dead wildlife, including seabirds that were affected by the spills between Humboldt Bay and Trinidad. |
