CSUCI studies Beach Impacts from Oil Spill
Following the oil spill at Refugio Beach, Drs. Clare Steele, Sean Anderson and CSUCI students mounted a rapid response to establish baselines at El Capitan, Gaviota and Coal Oil Point beaches before any possible oil impact. The ESRM program’s ongoing sandy beach monitoring will allow us to examine the impact of perturbations like the oil spill and the effects of beach grooming and nourishment.
