The Coast Guard is asking for the public's help with the oil spill that has fouled San Francisco Bay and local beaches. No government agency has put out calls for volunteers, but that information will eventually be posted online at www.owcn.org. People interested in volunteering with the cleanup should not call any of the numbers, as the high level of calls has made it difficult to disseminate information, officials said today. Enviornmental group Baykeeper is collecting a list of interested volunteers via their Web site, www.baykeeper.org.
