Officials say no recoverable oil remains in the water after a sheen was reported off the Southern California coast, but the cause remains unclear
No recoverable oil remains in the water after a sheen was reported off the Southern California coast, but the cause remains unclear, officials said Saturday. Authorities detected the 2.5-mile long oil sheen Friday morning. Crews recovered about 85% of it, roughly 85 gallons , on Friday. By the time responders conducted flights over the area Saturday, they could no longer see any recoverable sheen, the Coast Guard and Huntington Beach officials said in written statements.
There were some clumps of tar along the beach but not enough to warrant a closure, and there did not appear to be any public health threat from consuming fish from the area, authorities said. The Coast Guard said three live birds — a cormorant, a loon and a grebe — were found sullied with oil and are being treated.
