The Coast Guard said it is investigating reports made last Saturday of two oily sheens off the coast of Point Loma and San Clemente Island, but has yet to release any details about a possible source of the pollution.
Coast Guard Sector San Diego did not acknowledge the possible spill off the island about 70 miles from shore until Wednesday evening. A whale-watching captain called the agency Saturday to report a “giant” oily sheen stretching for roughly 50 miles, and he later posted a video to social media of dolphins swimming through the pollution.
“The Coast Guard takes all reports of marine environmental pollution seriously,” said Lt. Ryan Szabo, incident management division chief, in a press statement release Wednesday after 7 p.m. “We thank all of the responsible citizens who reported these environmental concerns in a timely manner.”
