Cosco Busan Oil Spill in San Francisco Bay:
The November 7, 2007 Cosco Busan Oil Spill in San Francisco Bay had a significant effect on the regional environment and the economy. This presentation will provide a first-hand account of the spill response; challenges faced by local, state, federal and industry responders and stakeholders, and ways in which those challenges were addressed. The preparedness and response roles and responsibilities of industry and local, state and federal agencies will also be discussed.
