Herring Fishermen Sue Chevron Over California Oil Leak

A group of fishermen seek punitive damages and funding to monitor the health of Pacific herring after an oil spill leaked 700 gallons of oil into a prime fish spawning habitat... Last week, the executive director of the environmental nonprofit San Francisco Baykeeper called the refinery’s response to the oil spill “pathetic,” arguing Chevron should have been better prepared to deal with an oil spill given its “long history of environmental violations.”
