LOS ANGELES, Oct 4 — California authorities and emergency responders were racing today to contain the damage from a major offshore oil spill that the city of Huntington Beach described as an “environmental catastrophe.”
The US Coast Guard coordinating the response said early Monday that oil amounting to less than three per cent of the spill plume — estimated to be 5.8 nautical miles long — had been recovered, and that more than a mile of oil containment booms had been deployed. “We will be working to ensure that Amplify Energy Corporation does everything possible to rectify this environmental catastrophe,” Huntington Beach said.
“We’ve seen time and time again how damaging offshore oil spills are to our coastal ecosystems as well as to our economy,” he tweeted. “We have the power to prevent future spills.”
