Original warning text

Spill from Container Vessel, South Side of Dodge Island, Miami, FL.
Miami, FL, USA.
1. On August 13, 2022, the USCG contacted the Office of Response and Restoration Emergency Response Division to report that an estimated 1000 gallons of oil were released from the 530-foot container vessel, the S A Sabrina, at the Port of Miami. Reports of bathers on Miami Beach getting oil on them were received on 13 August. Additionally, tarballs were reported on the beach about 5 miles north of Government Cut. USCG plans to survey the beach for additional tarballs and their extent. NOAA has indicated that shoreline oiling could also exist near the release location due to the time of release during high tide.

3. POSITION 25.770N 080.167W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 10504: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/10504
