REGION: ATLANTIC
SUB REGION: MID ATLANTIC U.S.
AREA/BLOCK: North Atlantic 
IMAGE DATE: 06-17-2018
IMAGE TIME: 1526 UTC
DATA SOURCE: LANDSAT8
MODE: Multispectral  
RESOLUTION: 30 meter
LOCATION: 40°24'03" N/72°22'13" W
AREA: 2.33 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020)
CONFIDENCE: High
REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil, but it is believed to be an oil slick that emanated from the site of the Coimbra tanker wreck located south of Long Island, NY since the slick was directly connected to that location. The curvilinear slick measured 6 nm long. Winds were light and variable at the time of the image; model currents were also light. 

UNCERTAINTIES: Due to the presence of natural features on the ocean surface at the southern end of the slick, we are unable to determine a more precise areal extent of the slick.
ANALYST: VELASCO
