Roughly 85 gallons of oil product were recovered from the waters off the coast of Huntington Beach in Southern California on Friday, the day after an oil sheen was discovered there, the US Coast Guard said. The sheen is about one and a half miles off the Huntington Beach coast, the Coast Guard said. On Saturday, a helicopter will fly over the area to assess if a sheen is still present, according to the Coast Guard. The City of Huntington Beach, which boasts the moniker Surf City USA, said on Friday that its Marine Safety Division is evaluating the coastline for any impact. The Coast Guard said the exact source of the oil sheen is under investigation.
