Group To Stage Fish In To Block Oil Platform
A Santa Barbara citizens group plans a large fish-in protest to block Sun Oil Co. from towing an eight legged 200 foot high drilling platform, Hillhouse, into the Santa Barbara Channel. The effort, led by a 750 member committee known as Get Os Out God, aims to disrupt the operation with 30 to 100 boats and fishing gear. The group asserts the platform threatens beaches and wildlife, while Sun Oil says the permit was issued in good faith and towing will proceed under Coast Guard surveillance.
