Refugio Marine Mammal Survey (June 3, 2015) eng Dataset DOC/NOAA/NOS/ORR > Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS > OIL SPILLS EARTH SCIENCE SERVICES > HAZARDS MANAGEMENT > HAZARDS MITIGATION CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > CALIFORNIA On May 19, 2015, a pipeline owned ruptured in Santa Barbara County, California, near Refugio State Beach. An estimated 21,000 gallons of the oil flowed overland from the break site into the Pacific Ocean and spread across the marine environment. NOAA and our state and federal partners are investigating these impacts and will determine the amount of restoration needed to return the environment to the condition it was in before the spill and to compensate the public for environmental degradation from the time of the spill until recovery. This layer depicts National Marine Fisheries surveys conducted during the Refugio beach oil spill. This data represents point locations where various marine life were observed in proximity to the Refugio Beach Oil Spill exposure areas.
