NEWS: Today I introduced legislation to ban cargo ships off the Orange County coast.
Ships anchored for weeks and months off our coast likely caused last week's oil spill. Reports show that the pipe "may have been struck several other times" by ship anchors off the coast.
The SHIP Act would ban cargo ships from idling or anchoring in the coastal waters of Southern California for the next 180 days. It's time to get the ports working again and get these ships moving and out of our waters.
