Oil slick threatens Connecticut shoreline
A large oil slick from the tanker Gettysburg stretches 12 miles along the Connecticut coast from New Haven to Guilford amid 10 knot winds and tidal action. About 385,000 gallons of light No 2 fuel oil have formed a thin layer, with some reaching beaches as ice and sludge barriers slow spread. Officials fear significant marine bird casualties, while the ice barrier and weather help dilution and containment efforts.
