"Six national park sites in the Bay Area would be in danger of being slimed by oil — one of the most hard-hit areas in the country — if President Trump goes through with his plan to expand offshore oil drilling along the California coast, a national report on federal parks said Wednesday.
Oil spills would threaten beaches, marinas, historic and recreational sites in 10 federal park lands in California, including protected areas in San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma and Contra Costa counties, said the report by the National Parks Conservation Association and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
In total, 68 national park sites would be threatened from Point Reyes to Cape Hatteras, in North Carolina, and from Fort Point, next to the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Statue of Liberty, in New York Harbor, the report said."
