Editorial: Santa Barbara oil spill 50 years ago created California as we know it today

https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/Editorial-Santa-Barbara-oil-spill-50-years-ago-13563091.php


Two cormorants covered in oil sit on a rock near Refugio State Beach in May 2015 in Goleta, (Santa Barbara County). In 1969, the largest oil spill ever in U.S. waters as of that time occurred in the same section of the coast, giving birth to the modern American environmental movement.
