Sharing is caring!

Crews with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday morning responded to a spill reported in the area of the Richmond Wharf, according to authorities.

The CDFW’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response Twitter account posted that their personnel along with the Coast Guard were at the scene of the reported spill. The post did not specify exactly what substance had spilled. A photo included with the post showed a boom over the water in the wharf area.
