Re: Natural Oil Seepage

<<<When I was a kid, before drilling started, if you swam at the beaches near UCSB you'd come home with tar on your feet. The beaches are much cleaner now.>>>

I can second that. In the late 50's and early 60's, when I visited my grandmother who lived in Montecito (just south of Santa Barbara), globs of oily tar were all over the beaches.

Since the drilling in the late 1960's, the tar has pretty much gone.
