On May 19, 2015, a pipeline owned ruptured in Santa Barbara County, California, near Refugio State Beach. An estimated 21,000 gallons of the oil flowed overland from the break site into the Pacific Ocean and spread across the marine environment. NOAA and our state and federal partners are investigating these impacts and will determine the amount of restoration needed to return the environment to the condition it was in before the spill and to compensate the public for environmental degradation from the time of the spill until recovery. This data query contains Subtidal chemistry data from analyzed samples collected in support of the Refugio Beach Oil Spill Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) and described in the Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan (DARP).
