The slick had a dark appearance to the surrounding background environment, had sharp well-defined edges, and emanated from the Ship Shoal 195 area of the Gulf of Mexico. The slick was approximately 9.06nm in length, and approximately 0.56nm at the widest point. Winds near the time of the image were out of the N at 8kts. UNCERTAINTIES: No known report of a slick in the area, and no associated point source were identified which limit our confidence to medium for this report.
