ALAMEDA, Calif. (KCBS) -- SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS/AP) _ Work crews are focusing their efforts on the Alameda shoreline as the cleanup from an oil spill in San Francisco Bay continues.
KCBS’ Tim Ryan Reports
Coast Guard officials say 18 vessels have been pressed into service after fuel oil from the Panamanian-flagged Dubai Star leaked into the bay Friday morning.
On the shore, wildlife experts have picked up at least 30 birds covered with oil from beaches and transferred them to a wildlife recovery center. At least 10 birds have been found dead.
As a precaution, the state Department of Fish and Game has suspended fishing and shellfish harvesting between the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the San Mateo Bridge.
The Dubai Star was moved Sunday from its anchorage to a pier for continued hull cleaning.
