The only upside is that it's not the breeding season with hatchlings. It'll be very, very upsetting, I'm afraid, but if the oil is sucked up and contained as quickly as possible, the damage could be short-lived. The fact that the ship's inshore and beached will help, rather than being miles out to sea where it could spread a huge slick like the awful Torrey Canyon disaster in the 1960s.
