NOAA provides geospatial surveillance data of possible oil-on-water events in the Gulf of Mexico. These events are related to oil and gas exploration, and development activities, as well as from natural seeps. Detected event locations are mapped with oil and gas infrastructure data in a GIS environment to identify probable sources. Regulatory enforcement is the purpose of the program.
