On January 19, 1996, the North Cape oil barge ran aground at Moonstone Beach, spilling 820,000 gallons of oil into Rhode Island Sound. The resulting environmental damage was overwhelming. Save The Bay Advocacy Director Topher Hamblett joins the show to discuss the organization’s response to the 1996 North Cape oil spill, both on the shoreline and in the state house. Topher also discusses the push for a new climate resilience fund generated by an oil fee.
