Index of Subjects --Apple-Mail-11-854501159 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Terry, The Nova Scotia Institute of Science recently published an issue devoted to the flora, fauna, intertidal invertebrates and fishes of Scatarie Island. The table of contents is available online: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Science/NSIS/content_vol45_1.html The contents are not, although they are available from the Institute in hardcopy for $9. Clearly the fact that some 10,000 litres of diesel oil, lubricants and oily bilge water have been recovered from the ship is very good. The paint on the ship is lead-based and the electrical system probably has PCBs in it, which is less than desirable. Also, less than desirable is having a shipwreck in what is a protected wilderness area. If it breaks up pieces of it could become hazards to navigation for fisherman around the island. The province is clearly concerned and is lobbying the federal government to take action to remove the ship and has also launched a lawsuit against the owners of the tugboat for the costs of salvage and any environmental cleanup.
