REPORT TIME: 0900 UTC
REGION: GULF OF MEXICO
SUB REGION: N/A
AREA/BLOCK: PULLEY RIDGE   949
IMAGE DATE: 11-04-2019
IMAGE TIME: 2335 UTC
DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1A 
MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV
RESOLUTION: 20 meter
LOCATION: 25°01'22" N/82°45'22" W
AREA: 0.19 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020)
CONFIDENCE: High
REMARKS: A possible oil slick was observed in satellite imagery. The slick appeared to originate from the location of a known ship wreck (Cudahy), a source of repeat oil leaks. The anomaly was measured 0.96 NMI long and 0.08 NMI wide. The anomaly extends N from the point source.  The anomaly shows good contrast against the ocean background and is far removed from natural phenomenon. 

UNCERTAINTIES: Since the anomaly seems to originate from a repeat oil leak source, there is no uncertainty.
