Approximately 25,000 gallons of crude oil spilled into the ocean, with considerable amounts seeping into the state-protected Magnolia, Brookhurst, and Talbert saltwater marshes in the Huntington Beach Wetlands (HBW), Orange County. USC Sea Grant has funded a team who, fortuitously, had collected water and sediment samples one year prior to the spill in the Magnolia and Talbert Marshes. The team collected additional samples several days, a few weeks, and approximately one and two years after the spill to enable a detailed analysis of the ecosystem recovery at the wetlands. This project will answer questions about: the short- and long-term effects of the oil-spill on the microbial community of the Huntington Beach Wetlands\/ What are the key microbial taxa that are stimulated by the recent oil-spill and could these key players be used as indicators for oil degradation? And is it possible to grow novel oil-degrading microbes that are relevant to this site?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <h3><b>Principal Investigators<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roman Barco, Ph.D., University of Southern California<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Funding: <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOAA, 2024-2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Additional Info and Publications:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/wrigley\/2024\/07\/23\/oil-spill-impacts-on-southern-california-microbial-ecosystems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article: Don&#8217;t Be Crude: Oil Spill Impacts on Marine Microbial Ecosystems in Southern California<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/oil-spill-microbes-huntington-beach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article: Slippery situation: Microbes in oil spills could shed light on ecosystem recovery<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cta-link\" href=\"\/uscseagrant\/publications-database\/\">Access our Publications Database to view publications from this project or other related topics<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-content-detail.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2260","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
