Oil Spill Spoils Santa Barbara Coastline

Around 21,000 gallons of oil leaked onto Refugio State Beach near Santa Barbara, California, on May 19 from a pipeline managed by Plains All American Pipeline. The US Coast Guard said the two oil slicks stretched across nine miles. Plains All American Pipeline said up to 105,000 gallons of crude had leaked, but that the total amount released into the ocean is under investigation. Credit: Facebook/Santa Barbara Sailing Center
