Avila Beach Oil Spill and Sea Otter Restoration

This is not an "Otter oil project" per se, but it involves the impact of an oil spill on sea otters. The Avila Beach oil spill occurred on August 3, 1992, when a Union Oil Company of California (Unocal) pipeline ruptured, releasing approximately 600 barrels of crude oil. This incident led to significant environmental damage and harm to sea otters and other marine life. The subsequent restoration plan, developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game, aimed to restore the injured natural resources, including the southern sea otter population.

This is a non-profit organization focused on the conservation of sea otters, not an oil project. The Otter Project Inc. promotes the rapid recovery of the threatened California sea otter through science-based policy and advocacy. Their mission is centered on protecting and conserving sea otter populations, rather than any involvement in oil projects.

There is no evidence of a specific oil project named "Otter oil project" in the provided sources or general research. The term "Otter" in the context of oil fields does not appear to be relevant here, as the sources discuss either sea otter conservation or unrelated oil field developments.
