Huntington Beach oil spill is the latest in history of California’s offshore mishaps

A reported 126,000 gallons of crude oil is leaking out of a broken pipeline located some four miles off the coast of Huntington Beach. Some of it is making its way onshore. The pipeline connected an offshore oil platform named Elly to a refinery station in Long Beach. This spill is comparable to the 2015 spill at Refugio Beach in Santa Barbara — in terms of size, scope, and public sentiment. That’s according to CSU Channel Islands environmental professor Sean Anderson.
