June 3-4, 2025: IOSA hosted a two-day multi-agency drill involving the U.S. Coast Guard, WA Department of Ecology, SJC Department of Emergency Management, Lummi and Swinomish nations, and other industry partners to simulate a response to a large slick coming ashore near Jackson Beach, San Juan Island. Fifty-two participants and 15 organizations worked together over two days to plan and practice response, deploy boom, fly drones, and review wildlife deterrence and protection procedures. The drill provided invaluable experience in working within San Juan County with equipment, strategies, and partners essential in an actual spill response scenario.
