The Coast Guard and the state Department of Environmental Conservation are monitoring a grounded fishing vessel in Togiak Bay.
The Coast Guard says the 102-foot Nor'Quest grounded early Wednesday morning after it lost an anchor. Neither crew member was injured and they are remaining on board in efforts to refloat the boat.
The Nor'Quest is carrying up to 18,800 gallons of diesel fuel. It also has 200 gallons of gasoline, 200 gallons of lube oil, 300 gallons of hydraulic oil, and 110 gallons of waste oil on board.
A Coast Guard overflight found no pollution. A commercial salvage company is working with the boat owners and operators to lighter it before attempts are made to refloat the Nor'Quest.
