Red tide has contributed to or is suspected in the deaths of nearly 190 manatees so far this year.
The source of the spill, a drain area about a quarter-mile uphill from the coastline, was stopped on Monday, authorities reported. And oil on the water has been contained to a site near a small boat harbor at the terminal where tankers load up with oil.
The incident appears similar to an oil and gas release in 2017 blamed on thawing permafrost and hot production fluids.
