Video: Refugio Oil Spill Response



Crews use hand tools and absorbent towels to remove oil from rocks along the shoreline on Ellwood Beach in Santa Barbara County, California, June 8, 2015. 

This type of oil removal can be slow and meticulous but it helps preserve sensitive environmental and cultural areas along the beach.
