One year ago, the container ship Cosco Busan sideswiped the Bay Bridge, spilling 53,000 gallons of heavy fuel oil. The spill polluted the bay and killed nearly 3,000 birds. We talk with environmentalists and policymakers about the ongoing impact of the incident, and find out about efforts to prevent future spills.

Guests:

David Lewis, executive director of Save the Bay

Greg Baker, environmental scientist at the Office of Response and Restoration at NOAA

Steve Sawyer, assistant chief counsel for the California Department of Fish and Game Office of Spill Prevention and Response
