Bad weather damaged nearly a dozen small oil tankers in the Kerch Strait, which links the Sea of Azov with the Black Sea, leaving sea birds slicked with oil, the NYT reports.
A world away, a tanker grazed the Bay Bridge and sent a slick out across the San Francisco Bay. CNN reports: Nearly 200 dead birds have been recovered from the bay, while another 465 birds have been rescued alive but oiled, according to Lisa Curtis, administrator of Department of Fish and Games office of spill prevention and response. Federal investigators are investigating.
