Coast Guard warns to stay away from tar balls, oil sheen off Rockaways
Tuesday, April 2, 2019
NEW YORK -- The Coast Guard is warning people in the waters off the Rockaways to stay away from any tar balls or oil sheens they might see and is investigating to see if they're related to an oil leak from a vessel a few days ago.
The agency says reports came in Saturday for the waters off Coney Island and Long Island, from Norton Point to Atlantic Beach.
The Coast Guard says a vessel, the Dublin Express, had a 15-inch hole in one of its tanks on Thursday and was in the Arthur Kill waterway between Staten Island and New Jersey.
An investigation is still ongoing to find the cause of that leak and determine how much oil spilled.
