    1. On May 4, 2016, USCG Sector San Francisco called the NOAA SSC reporting a barrel floating high in the water within San Francisco Bay between Yerba Buena Island and the Port of Oakland. Sector requested trajectory support to assist in recovery operations. Barrel contents unknown.

    Sheen Reports; off Bolinas, CA.
    off Bolinas, CA.
    1. On May 8, 2016, USCG Sector San Francisco contacted the SSC to relay two separate (but nearby) sheen reports offshore of Bolinas CA. The first sheen report from a charter fishing vessel was of a 1 mile x 100 yd rainbow sheen at 0930 hrs, but no orientation description. The second report from the Tug Arthur Brusco was of a N/S oriented sheen approximately 12 NM from the earlier report and within the vessel Traffic Separation Scheme outside the entrance to San Francisco Bay. USCG requested a hindcast trajectory to determine if the two sheen reports might be related and to narrow down the potential source(s).
    2. THREAT: OIL. TAGS: MYSTERY SUBSTANCE.
