Charity urges locals to look out for it reaching Island's coast
An oil spill would have wide ranging effects on the Island's marine wildlife if it reached the Manx coast.
That's according to the Manx Wildlife Trust which is urging locals to look out for signs of the substance washing ashore.
More than 500 barrels of crude oil leaked into the Irish Sea last week.
It hasn't been seen around the Island's coastline so far but marine officer Lara Howe says it would cause a range of issues:
