Refugio Beach oil spill: A check-in with California Fish and Wildlife

Clean up efforts continue following an oil spill earlier this week off the coast of Santa Barbara. 

The spill spans 9 miles of Santa Barbara's coast. Officials say up to 105,000 gallons of oil escaped the busted pipe, and as much as 21,000 gallons made it into the ocean.

Alexia Retallack with the California Fish and Wildlife Office of Spill Prevention and Response tells more about the progress being made.
