1. Worst of Oil Spill Over; Mired Birds Still Washing In
- www.ptreyeslight.com
- As wildlife in the Point Reyes National Seashore slowly recovers from a blight of tarballs that hit the West Marin coast last week, state and federal authorities continue to search for the source of the pollution. ...
- Samples were taken both from the tarballs in Drake's Bay, as well as a mile-long oil slick seen Friday off the San Mateo County coast. ...
- Spotted 13 miles out to sea during a Coast Guard flight, the slick was the first evidence of oil on the ocean's surface anywhere in the vicinity of Drake's Bay since tarballs began appearing at the National Seashore. ...
- A Coast Guard cutter took samples of the oil slick and sent them to both the state Fish and Game Department's laboratory in Sacramento and the Coast Guard's facility in Groton, Connecticut, said Chief Petty Officer Bob Borden. ...
- Both Borden and Dell'Osso told The Light that weather patterns this past week made it unlikely the slick will eventually wash ashore on the Marin Coast in the form of tarballs. ...
- However, one of the reasons oil tests have not yet yielded any definitive results is that there are few identifying characteristics in tarball samples, which are essentially congealed oil globs that have washed around at sea, said Coast Guard Comdr. ...
- Furthermore, he said, there are few distinct oil "fingerprints" to compare the recent samples against. ...
- Lorrigan told The Light that Coast Guard technicians are trying to determine whether the recent samples match the oil released during the Puerto Rican shipwreck in 1984, the Cape Mohican spill in San Francisco Bay last year, the recent spill in Humboldt Bay, or some tar balls that washed into Drake's Bay last year. ...
- While state and federal investigators await the lab results, the Coast Guard has been tracking every large vessel that recently traveled through the Port of San Francisco, Lorrigan said. ...
