Remembering 1971 San Francisco Bay oil spill
Today marks the 40th anniversary of Standard Oil tankers spill, the massive 800,000 gallon spill that occurred in San Francisco Bay in 1971. The concept of International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC) was born in the midst of this spill because it was clear that oil spills were becoming a part of our reality way back in 1971 and after a quick review it was evident that no organization had developed effective techniques to care for oiled birds. So, IBRRC was created to do just that, develop techniques and protocols to humanely treat and rehabilitate oiled birds.
IBRRC’s Founder, Alice Berkner and a handful of others, came up with the concept of IBRRC while trying to help the 7,000 plus birds that filled warehouses around the bay area. Most of those birds died, but not their deaths were not in vain. The demise of these birds only encouraged these people to try harder in their efforts and by April of 1971 IBRRC was incorporated as a non-profit organization.
This year we proudly celebrate IBRRC’s 40th anniversary and throughout the year we will provide more information, interviews and celebrate our accomplishments. In the meantime, let’s take a moment of silence to remember the animals that lost their lives 40 years ago. Since then tens of thousands of animals have been recovered and given a second chance thanks to IBRRC and because of one person’s vision and focus. That person is Alice Berkner and on behalf of all of us who have followed in your path, thank you Alice for your passion and vision and creating IBRRC.
