Description

Wooded Islands and the surrounding waters are threatened with oil pollution in the near future. Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas exploration has already begun in the northern Gulf, and the Valdez terminal of the TransAlaska oil pipeline is scheduled to begin operation in the summer of 1977. Since currents in the Gulf flow in a counterclockwise direction, oil spilled near Hinchinbrook Entrance or in the lease area near Kayak Island may be expected to reach Wooded Islands.
