..."Coast Guard officials say the “likely” next step is to move the crane barge, with the Aleutian Isle still hanging off it, to a sheltered location where they can secure the boat and its fuel “with far less risk to our divers and crew and better protect the environment.”
While toxic to orcas and humans alike, diesel floats and evaporates, making a diesel spill less catastrophic than a spill of crude oil, which persists, remaining deadly to marine life for decades."
