Abstract

Oil pollution in or near coastal areas of Pinellas County, Florida. A collision between two barges and a freighter in 1993 caused oil to spill into Tampa Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and local waterways.

Alt Text

A wooden paddle rests vertically in shallow, murky water surrounded by dense mangrove trees with twisted roots and green foliage. The scene captures a tranquil, natural environment with intertwined branches overhead.
