HOUSTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Coast Guard and Texas environmental agencies are cleaning up a small oil spill in Nassau Bay, Texas, which feeds into Galveston Bay, the Coast Guard said on Monday.
Operations along the Houston Ship Channel, which runs through Galveston Bay north and east of Nassau Bay were unaffected by the containment and clean up of the spill.
Coast Guard spokesman Adam Wine said oil was spilled from a tug boat that sank in Nassau Bay on Sunday. The Coast Guard estimated that about two barrels of waste oil had leaked from the tug.
