  • Nov 12, 2007 - Berkeley, California, USA - A dead duck lays on the shore in Berkeley covered in oil from the Cosco Busan oil spill. Oil coat birds feathers, making it difficult for them to stay warm and eat. In addition to being smothered by oil, aquatic organisms are also exposed to a range of toxic chemicals, including chemicals that are known to cause cancer. The cargo ship Cosco Busan, a Hanjin ship, hit one of the Bay Bridge towers in San Francisco, Calif., on Wednesday morning Nov. 7, 2007. The ship was damaged and spilled about 58,000 gallons of thick black heavy bunker oil into the bay.
