The sheen was reported to USCG as approximately 1 mile long and 20 meters wide, appearing orange/brown in color and looking like emulsified oil. USCG requested an assessment of whether the sheen, if confirmed to be oil, could potentially impact nearby shorelines. A verbal trajectory was provided. After investigation, USCG determined the sheen was of biological origin.
