Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust care for large stretches of the coast bordering the North Sea in the area where the accident happened. These Wildlife Trusts also work to protect the marine life offshore in the affected area. Both Wildlife Trusts are deeply concerned about the potential impact that resulting pollution could have on internationally important seabird colonies, grey seals and the wealth of other marine life such as harbour porpoise, fish and minke whale that live beneath the waves.
