The COSCO BUSAN container ship spilled 58,000 gallons of oil into the San Francisco Bay in November 2007, spreading the oil along the Northern California coast and closing over 50 public beaches. An estimated 800 birds were found dead and over 1000 collected, with 420 rehabilitated and released, and fishing was restricted due to environmental impacts. Officials took steps to contain the spill by quarantining beaches and placing nets in the water while volunteers helped with cleanup and rescue efforts. However, the ship's pilot pleaded not guilty to pollution charges regarding responsibility for the spill.
