    1. On December 15, 2022, the USCG Marine Safety Detachment (MSD) Santa Barbara contacted their NOAA SSC to request trajectory support for the 59’ F/V SPERANZA MARIE grounded in Chinese Harbor, Santa Cruz Island, CA. The vessel reportedly ran aground in the early morning hours with 6 persons on board who were rescued without injury. At the time, crewmembers reported a strong smell of diesel. The vessel may have been carrying roughly 1,000 gallons of diesel at the time, though the maximum capacity is reportedly 4,000 gallons (total across 4 separate tanks). The grounding location is along the shores of the Channel Islands National Park (NPS) and within the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (NOAA). USCG requested trajectory support as assets are mobilized to the scene.
    2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 800 GALLONS.

    1. On January 6, 2023, the USCG Marine Safety Detachment Santa Barbara contacted their NOAA SSC to request oil fate information for a sheen report on Summerland Beach from earlier in the day. Now an inactive oil field in Santa Barbara County, it is among the most active areas of natural oil seeps in the world with many abandoned and decommissioned oil wells from as early as the 1890s. Initial oil movement information was provided via telephone, though a more specific request for trajectory support is anticipated after site inspections the morning of 07-JAN-2023.
