The adoption of the Area to be Avoided (ATBA) off the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary was conceived as a buffer to allow help to arrive to adrift vessels along this rocky and environmentally sensitive coast. Despite advances in technology and our best efforts at preventing maritime accidents there will always be a certain amount of risk involved in marine shipping. We must be ever vigilant in improving maritime and environmental safety and seek to avoid that wretched endeavor of a ship breaking up on a lee shore. Since the ATBA was adopted OCNMS has ensured that information on the ATBA was placed on the appropriate nautical charts and publications. In addition, Sanctuary staff worked closely with industry and government agencies to develop an education strategy. This effort resulted in the development of an ATBA flyer distributed in 1996 by the Washington State Office of Marine Safety, the Puget Sound Steamship Operators Association, the Marine Exchange of Puget Sound, the Canadian Coast Guard, 13th Coast Guard Districts Marine Safety Office Puget Sound (MSO) and Vessel Traffic Service Puget Sound (VTS).
