This grant, offered by the BLM California, addresses environmental recovery and education needs following the 1997 Torch/Platform Irene oil spill. The incident released 163 barrels of petroleum, contaminating 17 miles of Santa Barbara County coastline and causing severe seabird mortality. An oil spill Trustee Council, involving the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Game, was formed for oversight. This grant is for establishing seabird protection networks and developing environmental education components. This department is offering this grant to mitigate the spill’s long-term impacts and foster ecological awareness.

| Description: | Torch/Platform Irene Spill occurred on September 28, 1997, when a 20-inch pipeline operated by the Torch Operating Company, ruptured between Platform Irene, an offshore oil plant in the Santa Barbara Channel, and an onshore processing facility north of the City of Lompoc in Santa Barbara County. The Spill released at least 163 barrels of petroleum into the Pacific Ocean and contaminated 17 miles of northern Santa Barbara County coastline and caused the mortality of seabirds, principally Common Murres (Uria aalge) and Brandt¿s Cormorants (Phalacrocorax penicillatus). A four member oil spill Trustee Council was formed consisting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), California Department of Fish and Game (DFG), California State Land Commission, and U.S. Department of Defense (Vandenberg Air Force Base). |
