5月20日，在美國加州圣巴巴拉縣里菲吉歐海灘附近，一只海獅在被原油污染的海水中前行。

美國加州圣巴巴拉縣里菲吉歐海灘一地下輸油管道19日破裂，導致2.1萬加侖（約7.9萬升）原油泄漏并流入大海，污染當地海岸。當地有關部門20日表示，泄漏源頭已得到控制，但泄漏出的原油已給當地造成嚴重污染。新華社/法新

A California brown pelican and California sea lion fish in oil-contaminated water from an inland oil spill near Refugio State Beach on May 20, 2015 north of Goleta, California. About 21,000 gallons spilled from an abandoned pipeline on the land near Refugio State Beach, spreading over about four miles of beach within hours. The largest oil spill ever in U.S. waters at the time occurred in the same section of the coast where numerous offshore oil platforms can be seen, giving birth to the modern American environmental movement.
