Seabird specimens from the Selendang Ayu oil spill archived at the University of Alaska Museum in Fairbanks, Alaska.
In this study, we rescued specimens and data from the 2004 oil spill in the Aleutian Islands where the M/V Selendang Ayu ship ran aground on Unalaska Island spilling over 350,000 gallons of fuel oil and resulting in the salvage of over 1,500 seabird carcasses. We preserved genetic samples, skeletons...
