REPORT DATE: 09-14-2024 REPORT TIME: 0200 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: BRETON SOUND BS0034 IMAGE DATE: 09-13-2024 IMAGE TIME: 1628 UTC DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL2B MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 10 meter LOCATION: 29°32'09" N/89°16'56" W AREA: 2.06 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium-High REPORT MAP/GIS FILES: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/ocean/marinepollution/ REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The slick was approximately 5.55 nm long and approx. 0.26 nm at its widest. The dark colored anomaly had two white/shimmery centers which indicated relatively thicker oil. The dark colored slick was distinguishable from natural phenomena and had strong contrast against its surroundings. Winds near the time of the image were coming from the W at 6 kts which aligned well with the orientation of the slick. UNCERTAINTIES: There were multiple oil facilities in the vicinity which made it difficult to pinpoint a specific point source.
