A recreational vessel ran aground Wednesday night in Captains Bay, according to Ben Wagner with the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment Unit in Dutch Harbor.
Wagner said the owner was moving the boat to a new location when the tide went out and the vessel ran aground on rocks near the shoreline. No one was injured, but responders did notice a slight oil sheen in the water near the boat.
Wagner said the Coast Guard has taken steps to mitigate any environmental impact and will verify that the owner safely returned the vessel to deeper waters after the tide came back in.
