PORT FOURCHON \u2014 The Marine Safety Unit Houma responded to a crude oil leak<\/a> at the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port facility near Grand Isle on Feb. 26. <\/p>\n

The oil leak was caused by a material failure in a cargo transfer hose, causing the release of 750 oil barrels, according to Gov. Jeff Landry.<\/p>\n

A total of 17 live birds have been impacted by the spill so far, with LOOP skimming vessels recovering about 616 oil barrels offshore. <\/p>\n

LOOP, alongside federal and state agencies, has utilized aerial surveillance in the oil recovery.<\/p>\n
