Apparently an Oil tanker hit a column on the Bay Bridge causing a "medium sized" oil spill. One article mentioned that the wind is moving around oil globules and contaminating various areas of the bay.
It seems the Marina has been affected:

I heard about this yesterday on the News, but I didn't realize how big this was. Mayor Newsom and Sen. Barbra Boxer mentioned a lack of information as the key cause for the delayed reaction.
I'm kinda worried about the ducks I was feeding at Aquatic park last weekend.
