Cleanup Efforts Successful After Oil Sheen Off Huntington Beach

No remaining oil sheen visible as cleanup crews recover oil and remove waste, while investigations into the cause continue.

The U.S. Coast Guard reported no remaining oil sheen off the coast of Huntington Beach, California, following a cleanup of a spill discovered last Thursday.
Approximately 85 gallons of oil were recovered from the ocean, with cleanup efforts also removing about 800 pounds of oily waste and tar balls from the shoreline.
Investigations into the cause of the oil sheen are ongoing, with no current indication that it is related to operations from nearby oil platforms.
At least four birds were found visibly oiled, with two reported deaths among them. Wildlife authorities continue to monitor and treat affected wildlife.
Public health officials have advised against fishing in areas with visible sheen and cautioned the public about the health risks of contacting crude oil.
