Bruce Allen Here's the film trailer. Olive is in the film.
California is losing billions of dollars of much needed revenue while 10,000 gallons of crude oil are seeping naturally into our coastal waters every day, causing environmental disaster on a large scale. SOS California is telling the truth that has never been told before in the upcoming short film "A Crude Reality"
Length:2:17

Olive the sea otter has moved north near to lovely Capitola by the Sea and seems to be settling in. Two weeks ago and then again yesterday she was identified both by radio frequency and by her distinct light blue toe tags...
"Olive" the Oiled Otter Olive found alive and well!
As those who have been following the story of Olive the young female sea otters who got so badly tarred this last winter may remember, we had lost track of her after the telemetry receiver that was monitoring her temperature and location was stolen from Sunset State Beach about a month ago...
DFG is still trying to locate the stolen otter radio receiver that went missing in mid-August from a hill above Sunset State Beach in Santa Cruz. If you have information about the receiver (see attached photo), please call 1-888-DFG-CALTIP. No questions will be asked...

Olive will be featured in the upcoming mini documentary film on SOS California, a non -profit organization from Santa Barbara, CA dedicated to raising public awareness on natural oil seeps off the coast of Santa Barbara and the dangers these oils seeps can cause to marine life. Olive is a living example of the impact t...he oil seeps have on people, the environment and mammals. This will be an insightful film on one the most controversial subjects in the country. Fortunately, Olive lives on to be a reminder that we have to be responsible and come up with solutions that will prevent hundreds of animals from dying who are not as fortunate as Olive the oiled otter.Read More

Olive was oiled by natural offshore oil seeps. Natural oil seeps release 80,000 barrels of oil per year in coastal Santa Barbara waters which drifts up the coast in winter due to the Davidson current. These seeps also kill hundreds of birds every year. Offshore oil seeps can be reduced. Future generations of sea otter...s, our beaches and Olive's decendents can have less ocean oil seepage pollution for thousands of years into the future. Check out how-SOS California.Read More
