"Coast Guard Cutter Accidentally Spills 500 Gallons of Diesel Fuel off Northern California Coast"
The US Coast Guard Cutter Alder accidentally discharged about 500 gallons of diesel fuel off the coast of Northern California, with officials investigating potential impacts to sensitive sites but not expecting shoreline effects. The spill follows a recent incident off Southern California's coast, and both occurrences come after a major crude oil spill in the same area in October 2021.
