Notice to Mariners No. 31 of 1953

POLLUTION OF WATERS BY OIL

SPECIMENS of the crested penguin and little blue penguin incapacitated by oil have recently been cast ashore on beaches near Christchurch. Pollution caused by oil discharged by vessels has a serious and deadly effect on bird life. The feathers of the bird become so gummed that they are unable to take flight again. The fine down that insulates their bodies against cold water becomes matted and water soaked, the skin is exposed to the elements and the bird dies from cold or hunger, or perishes from drowning.

Oil pollution has been proved to have very serious effects upon fish supplies in coastal areas, Whilst the discharge of oil outside territorial waters is beyond the limits of New Zealand legislation, Masters are asked to ensure that no oil or oil and water is pumped out until the vessel is well clear of the limits or is in such a position that there is very little chance of such matter reaching the shore or territorial waters.

Wellington, N.Z., 14 April 1953.

W. C. SMITH, Secretary for Marine.
