Contributed photos. Aug. 13, 2022: The 58-foot fishing boat Aleutian Isle sank off the west side of San Juan Island, taking 2,500 gallons of diesel and a mass of nets and rigging down with it, generating a 1,500-foot slick right in the migration path of the Southern Resident orcas. IOSA was first on the scene, provided early reports to USCG and other agencies and supplied vital equipment to the massive multiagency multicontractor cleanup operation that followed.
