And you are also correct that there were cleanup vessels deployed! The California Responder spill response vessel was spotted working the coastline for quite some time.

Good to know. MSRC has vessels are on standby around the united states for clean-up activities. A result of the Exxon Valdez incident. I am surprised the Pacific Responder was not sent down from SF to help? A recent Satelite photo indicates they have a good amount to go.
