 | Water Issues: Guilty Plea in San Francisco Bay Oil Spill Case |
 On Nov. 7, 2007, an oil tanker, Cosco Buscan, collided with the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and caused a 53,000 gallon oil spill. The incident contaminated 26 miles of shoreline and deferred the crab season. The spill was responsible for the deaths of 2,000 migratory birds, among those birds were federally and California statewide endangered species. On August 13 the Hong Kong based Fleet Management Company pled guilty to violating the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and to felony obstruction of justice and false statement charges in the spills aftermath. The company is being fined $10 million. “In pleading guilty, Fleet admitted that after the ship hit the Bay Bridge it concealed ship records created materially false, fictitious, and forged documents with an intent to influence the Coast Guard’s investigation,” said the U.S. Department of Justice in a written statement.
