"Coast Guard Investigates Suspected Oil Spill Off Huntington Beach Coast"

The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating a possible oil spill off the coast of Huntington Beach in Orange County, with an estimated two-mile-wide oil sheen visible on the water's surface. Officials are working to identify the source of the spill, and emergency personnel are on the scene. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is involved in assessing the situation, and state officials are actively monitoring the incident. This comes after a previous oil spill in 2021 linked to an oil processing platform, which resulted in a federal grand jury indictment and a $50-million settlement.
