Coast Guard officials flew over the Orange County site early Friday and confirmed an oil sheen almost three miles offshore that they said was not from natural causes.
The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating an oil sheen off the coast of Huntington Beach that stretches about two miles long and half a mile wide, officials said Friday. Officials received a report about 6:50 p.m. Thursday of an unknown substance about 1½ miles offshore, and local emergency responders were on site through the night, the agency said.
“It’s grim to wake up to yet another ugly oil spill off California’s beautiful coast, and we have to do a lot more than just try to mop up the miles-long mess,” said Brady Bradshaw. “This same tangle of pipelines and platforms produced the massive 2021 spill, and it’s time for state and federal regulators to take tough, urgent action to get this decrepit infrastructure out of the ocean.
