| 11/16/07--This map shows the how the Cosco Busan Oil Spill hit four Important Bird Areas in the Bay Area -- Richardson Bay, Brooks Island, East Shore Wetlands, and Bolinas Lagoon. Important Bird Areas are critical habitat for one or more species of bird and are recognized as a key component of global bird and biodiversity conservation. The map, which uses data collected through November 11th by the Office of Spill Prevention and Response, depicts a conservative estimate of oiled shoreline. Audubon California will update this map as additional data becomes available. |
