Oil, in the shape of small globs, that have landed on our South Bay beaches from the edges of Torrance & Redondo Beach all the way to the El Segundo’s tiny coastline will be the topic of bar-stool or dinner conversation this weekend. It’s definitely a surreal site to watch the U.S. Coast Guard, L.A. County Health Officials, represetatives from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) congregate near Redondo Beach Pier to discuss the possible source of these oil globs. It’s feels like an alien has landed in the South Bay.
The beaches remained closed today and Heal the Bay recommends that the beaches stay closed until all the oil is cleaned up. So precede with caution if you plan to enter the water this weekend. The source of the oil is still undetermined.
Below are a list of South Bay Events happening this weekend.
