A pipeline rupture leaked thousands of gallons of oil off Huntington Beach, CA (Credit: Richard Brahm/US Coast Guard)

A ruptured undersea oil pipeline off the coast of Huntington Beach, CA, has leaked thousands of gallons of oil into the Pacific Ocean, threatening fish and wildlife and causing numerous beach closures. The spill, caused by a 13-inch tear in a pipeline that transports crude oil from an offshore drilling platform to a pump station in Long Beach, CA, was first reported by locals on October 1, 2021. Experts are still trying to determine the amount of oil leaked before the pipeline was shut down on October 3, 2021. The estimates range anywhere from 25,000 gallons to 136,000 gallons.

        I feel poor for the fish, the dirty water, and all the animals that live/live near the oiled water.

            This article is an amazing example of the Environmental footprint we leave and so little people are trying to help.

                  there are so little of people that is doing some thing about this. this is not just on the coasts of California, it is all over the place. Places not even in the USA. The should make a fund like they are all ready doing about the trash that is in the ocean but to focus manly on the beaches and the oil spills

                    This is so sad! Why can't people be responsible! so much litter has gone into our oceans! And the sad thing is, there is billions of miles of space and we have explored more space than our oceans.
