| As
part of their response, NOAA spill specialists
note the locations where they've observed different
types of oil, places where the shoreline has
been affected, oceanographic features that affect
the movement of oil, and other information needed
by the response team. They record this information
in photographs and overflight maps of the area
surveyed. This is a photo taken during an overflight,
showing a streamer or slick of brown, emulsified oil, with silver and gray sheen
along its edges. (Photo credit: OR&R, NOAA) |
