Story Excerpt

Post an excerpt from the story;

"The Coast Guard is responding to two oil spills reported this morning in San Diego Bay.

The first spill, covering about a quarter-mile off Shelter Island, was reported by workers at the High Seas Fuel dock there. The second, reported by a helicopter pilot, was spotted about a quarter-mile south of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, extending back toward the National Steel & Shipbuilding Co. yards."


1. What is the issue, controversy or event in the story? What are the basic facts?

The San Diego Bay had two reported oil spills in one day a few months ago. The spills happened around Shelter Island and near the Coronado Bridge.

2. What information is missing from the story?

Some necessary information would be did they clean it? Were any animals or sealife or people harmed?

3. What would be your next steps if you were creating a follow up to this story?

If I were recreating a follow up story to this, I would answer the questions I asked above, and reference other oil spills and their effects. Probably also talk about previous SD oil spills.
