On February 19th, the Canadian Coast Guard, alongside its partners, responded to a capsized fishing vessel near Napier Point, approximately 3 km south of Bella Bella, British Columbia. The crew from the Bella Bella Coast Guard station successfully rescued all four fishermen on board, with no reported injuries.
In response to potential environmental risks, the Heiltsuk Tribal Council Marine Emergency Response Team deployed a containment boom around the vessel and is actively working to protect shorelines and the McLoughlin Bay hatchery from contamination, as the vessel appears to be leaking into the marine environment. Mariners not involved in the response are advised to avoid the area.
