A massive oil spill off the Orange County coast is fouling beaches and killing birds and marine life
The spill had reached Talbert Marsh and some environmentally sensitive wetlands areas by Sunday morning. It will take time to know the extent of the damage but officials said some birds and fish have died.
A fish swims amidst oil, forming globules, foam and sheen that flowed in from high tide and was held back by a sand berm and boom in a trapped pool as a major oil spill washes ashore at the Santa Ana River Jetties Sunday. Lifeguard vehicles face the water at Huntington Beach where oil-containment booms are put in place by boats offshore.
Globs of oil carried in by the high tide formed patterns on the border of Huntington Beach and Newport Beach.
