THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS BASED ON THE MOST CURRENT DATA PROVIDED TO NOAA. - The previous two days of overflights (both SLAR and visual) have indicated very little floating sheens remain in the Gulf of Mexico from the M/V Mega Borg. Although the oil has not been observed, we believe that it is still there in the form of tarballs. Previous experience has shown that the detection of tarballs from aerial observations is almost impossible. The FOSC has released the NOAA scientific support team pending any further developments. The NOAA command post phone lines in Galveston have been disconnected and the support team is returning to Seattle. Any questions concerning this spill can be directed to the SSC on watch at 206-526-6317. end of message
