Oil Spill Training
Oil Spill Training
Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Toledo holds periodical training for different scenarios. In 2014, they used the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship to simulate a possible oil spill in the Maumee River and Western Lake Erie Area. Over 400 people took part in this exercise which highlighted how to contain a worst case scenario spill and help save the port’s environmentally sensitive areas.
