<AGL:CONTAINER>NOAA spill specialists continue to advise the U.S. Coast Guard on cleanup options as well as advising all affected federal, state, and local partners on sensitive marine resources at risk in this area of the Gulf of Mexico. NOAA oceanographers continue to release updated trajectory maps showing the predicted trajectory of the oil slick.

Marine Mammal and Sea Turtles
  • Three oiled turtles were captured during the dedicated sea turtle on-water surveys this week: two small Kemp?s Ridley and a larger sub adult Loggerhead. All three turtles were returned to shore and transported to the Audubon Aquarium were they are undergoing de-oiling and care.
  • The total number of sea turtle strandings documented since April 30 within the ?designated spill area? is 183 (173 dead and 10 alive, of which two died later in rehab). None of the stranded turtles documented to date have had visible evidence of external oil.
  • There have been 18 dead dolphins confirmed since April 30 within the designated spill area, none of which have had visible external or internal signs of oiling.

NOAA Fisheries made a slight adjustment to the fishery closure area in the Gulf of Mexico based on the latest oil spill trajectories. The new closure area measures 48,005 square miles, which is just under 20% of the Gulf of Mexico EEZ, compared to the May 18 closure comprising 45,728 square miles, or about 19% of the Gulf of Mexico EEZ. NOAA?s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) is supporting the response work in the Gulf with four aircraft from OMAO?s Aircraft Operations Center housed at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.

<AGL:CONTAINER>NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program (DARRP) is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA). From past experience, NOAA is concerned about oil impacts to fish, shellfish, marine mammals, turtles, birds and other sensitive resources, as well as their habitats, including wetlands, mudflats, beaches, bottom sediments and the water column. Any lost uses of these resources, for example, fishery and beach closures, will also be evaluated. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data. Data on oiled resources and habitats are also being collected. </AGL:CONTAINER>

Several overflights were conducted today to help researchers forecast the trajectory of the oil spill over the next 72 hours. On one flight, a significant amount of oil was observed to the southeast of the Chandeleur Islands.
Winds are currently from the south to southeast, and are predicted to remain so through Sunday. At this time, no strong winds are predicted that would affect operations, such as skimming or controlled burning.

<AGL:CONTAINER>Response

NOAA continues to provide regular trajectories, and modeling expertise.
Today?s forecast includes relatively light and variable winds over the next 72 hours, potentially extending through the week. The oil is not anticipated to move much further westward during the forecast period.
Satellite imagery continues to show a very small portion of the oil moving to the SE. The oil was being entrained into a counter-clockwise rotating eddy to the north of the Loop Current. Sheens were no longer visible within the eddy on recent overflight. Trajectories for remaining observed oil within this region suggest some of these scattered sheens will continue to be entrained in the counter-clockwise eddy, but it is possible that a small amount of may move in to the Loop Current and persist as very widely scattered tarballs not visible from imagery.

<AGL:CONTAINER>Response:
NOAA continues to prepare daily trajectories of the floating oil. Winds are forecast to have a light northerly component through Saturday morning. These offshore winds may eventually lead to a reprieve in new shoreline impacts, but the Mississippi Delta west to Timbalier Bay, Breton Sound and the Chandeleur Islands continue to be threatened by shoreline contacts during this forecast period. NOAA continues to track the narrow band of oil to the SE of the main slick. These scattered sheens will continue to be entrained in the counter-clockwise eddy, but it is possible that smaller portion of oil may move into the Loop Current and persist as very widely scattered tarballs not visible from imagery. 

The flow rate technical team has completed its initial analysis and has estimated the leak rate at 12,000 barrels to 19,000 barrels per day. A Multi-agency and academic team reported out the results of two studies, one focusing on surface oiling and the other that analyzed the underwater plume. More information on the calculations can be found at http://www.doi.gov/news/pressreleases/Flow-Rate-Group-Provides-Preliminary-Best-Estimate-Of-Oil-Flowing-from-BP-Oil-Well.cfm. Assessment:
NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data. Data on oiled resources and habitats are also being collected. </AGL:CONTAINER>

Fishery closure update:
NOAA Fisheries Service revised the fishery closure effective 6:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, May 25. The closure now encompasses slightly more than 22 percent of the federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico exclusive economic zone. No change was made on May 27.
Marine mammals and turtles (effective May 26):
Sea Turtles
The total number of sea turtles verified from April 30 to May 26 within the designated spill area is 228. The 228 includes three entirely oiled sea turtles that were captured alive during dedicated on-water surveys last week: two small Kemp's Ridley and a larger sub-adult Loggerhead turtle. They were taken to the Audubon Aquarium where they are undergoing de-oiling and care and are doing well. In addition, 212 dead and 13 live stranded turtles (of which three subsequently died in rehab) have been verified. One of the turtles, a Kemp's ridley turtle, that stranded dead has had visible evidence of external oil. All others that stranded dead and alive have not had visible external oil. Dolphins
From April 30 to May 26, there have been 24 dead dolphins verified within the designated spill area. So far, one of the 24 dolphins had evidence of external oil. It was found on an oiled beach. We are unable at this time to determine whether the animal was externally covered in oil after its death or prior to its death. The other 23 dolphins have had no visible evidence of external oil. </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Response:
BP's efforts to kill the well continue. The initial efforts have been unsuccessful but BP restarted the "top kill" this afternoon and indicates that it may be another 24-48 hours before the operation can be evaluated. NOAA continues to prepare trajectories for the floating oil. A large amount of oil remains offshore of the Mississippi River Delta, but light and variable winds will reduce the potential for additional shoreline impacts over the weekend. The offshore trajectory for the tendril of sheen near the northern end of the loop current is also not expected to pose a threat for landfall through the forecast period. Assessment:
NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data. Data on oiled resources and habitats are also being collected. </AGL:CONTAINER>

Fishery closure update (effective May 28):
  • NOAA Fisheries Service revised the fishery closure effective 6:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 28. The closure now encompasses approximately 25 percent of the federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico exclusive economic zone.
Marine mammals and turtles (effective May 27):
Sea Turtles
The total number of sea turtles verified from April 30 to May 27 within the designated spill area is 238. The 238 turtles verified include three entirely oiled sea turtles that were captured alive during dedicated on-water surveys last week: two small Kemp's Ridley and a larger sub-adult Loggerhead turtle. They were taken to the Audubon Aquarium where they are undergoing de-oiling and care and are doing well. In addition, 222 dead and 13 live stranded turtles (of which three subsequently died in rehab) have been verified. A total of 12 live turtles are now in rehabilitation. One of the live stranded turtles ?caught in marine debris -- was disentangled and released. One of the turtles that stranded dead ? a Kemp?s Ridley - had visible evidence of external oil. All others that stranded dead and alive have not had visible external oil. Turtle strandings during this time period have been higher in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama than in previous years for this same time period. This may be due in part to increased detection and reporting, but this does not fully account for the increase.
Dolphins
From April 30 to May 27, there have been 24 dead dolphins verified within the designated spill area. So far, one of the 24 dolphins had evidence of external oil. It was found on an oiled beach. We are unable at this time to determine whether the animal was externally covered in oil prior to its death or after its death. The other 23 dolphins have had no visible evidence of external oil. Since April 30, the stranding
rate for dolphins in Louisiana has been higher than the historic numbers for the same time period in previous years. This may be due to increased detection and reporting and the lingering effects of the earlier observed spike in strandings. *Strandings are defined as dead or debilitated animals that wash ashore </AGL:CONTAINER>

Situation: May 29, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Response:
After three days of trying to kill the well with drilling fluids and debris, BP has conceded that the effort has not been successful in stemming the flow of oil from the ruptured riser. In an early evening press conference, BP said it was unclear why the ?top kill? failed, but said it was time to move to other options.
The next approach for stopping the well leak is the lower marine riser package approach, or LMRP. The LMRP cap is a newly made version of a device formerly referred to as a "top hat." In this operation BP will cut the bent riser pipe from the blowout preventer and place an engineered cap over the opening. The cap would be connected to the drillship via a riser pipe. The material and equipment required to complete this operation are already in place, but the effort is still expected to take four to seven days. BP believes that the system could capture much of the leaking oiling, but acknowledges that the relief wells remain the primary solution.
OR&R scientists continue to produce daily trajectories of the surface oil. For the nearshore region, moderate southerly winds are forecast to resume and continue through Monday at 5-10 kts. These winds may begin moving oil that has been tending to the southwest from the source towards the Delta. In addition to continued threats to shorelines in Breton and Chandeleur Sounds, model results indicate that some oil may move north to threaten the barrier islands off Mississippi and Alabama later in the forecast period. OR&R continues to track the light tendril of oil near the northern end of the loop current. Overflights to this region have observed streamers of emulsified oil no further south than approximately 28 degrees N, with contiguous, colorless sheens continuing in a narrow band as seen in the satellite imagery. Trajectories for remaining observed oil within this region suggest some of these scattered sheens will continue to be entrained into a counter-clockwise eddy, while some may move into the Loop Current Eddy and persist as very widely scattered tarballs not visible from imagery. Assessment:
NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data. Data on oiled resources and habitats are also being collected. </AGL:CONTAINER>

Situation: May 31, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Response:
With the failure of the ?Top Kill?, BP is now focused on the temporary cap for the riser pipe. This effort will take several days, and is expected to temporarily increase the flow. If successful, BP hopes it will capture the majority of the oil. A riser pipe would carry the oil to a tanker on the surface.
NOAA continues to prepare daily trajectories for the nearshore and offshore oil. In the nearshore zone, moderate south to southwest winds are forecast for the upcoming week at 5-10 kts. These winds may begin moving oil that has been tending to the southwest from the source towards the Delta. The threat to shorelines in Breton and Chandeleur Sounds, will be reduced. But, model results indicate that oil may move north to threaten the barrier islands off Mississippi and Alabama later in the forecast period. In the offshore zone, satellite imagery analysis continues to show a narrow band of oil to the SE of the main slick extending to approximately 27.3 degrees north. Recent overflights to this region, and ship observations reported only non contiguous, colorless sheens. Trajectories for observed oil within this region suggest some of these scattered sheens will continue to be entrained into the clockwise eddy that has detached from the Loop Current. Assessment:
NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data.

<AGL:CONTAINER>Fishery closure update (effective May 31) </AGL:CONTAINER>


<AGL:CONTAINER>
  • NOAA Fisheries Service has updated its Fishery closure area in the Gulf of Mexico, effective 6 p.m. Eastern Time, May 31, 2010. Approximately 74 percent of the Gulf remains open for fishing.
Marine mammals and turtles (effective May 30):

Sea Turtles
  • The total number of sea turtles verified from April 30 to May 30 within the designated spill area is 244. The 244 turtles verified include four turtles collected alive with visible external evidence of oil and one dead stranded turtle with visible external evidence of oil. All others have not had visible evidence of external oil. 

Three of the live collected turtles with visible evidence of oil were captured during dedicated on-water surveys: two small Kemp's Ridley and a larger sub-adult Loggerhead turtle. The fourth oiled turtle was collected alive by the US Coast Guard. One of the turtles that stranded dead ? a Kemp?s ridley - had visible evidence of external oil. A total of 227 turtles stranded dead. A total of 14 stranded alive. Three of those subsequently died and one of the live stranded turtles ?caught in marine debris -- was disentangled and released. There are 13 turtles in rehabilitation (includes three captured during dedicated on-water surveys). Turtle strandings during this time period have been higher in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama than in previous years for this same time period. This may be due in part to increased detection and reporting, but this does not fully account for the increase.
Dolphins
  • From April 30 to May 30, there have been 29 dead dolphins verified within the designated spill area. So far, one of the 29 dolphins had evidence of external oil. Because it was found on an oiled beach, we are unable at this time to determine whether the animal was covered in oil prior to its death or after its death. The other 28 dolphins have had no visible evidence of external oil. Since April 30, the stranding rate for dolphins in Louisiana has been higher than the historic numbers for the same time period in previous years. This may be due to increased detection and reporting and the lingering effects of the earlier observed spike in strandings.

<AGL:CONTAINER>Updated daily
Situation: June 1, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Response:
BP is preparing for their next attempt to stop the oil leaking from the riser. The plan is to attach a cap over the riser pipe. The cap will then be connected by a pipe to a drillship at the water surface. BP anticipates beginning this effort later this week, but operational delays could change this timeframe. The operation will be carried out at 5000 ft deep with the use of remotely operated vehicles and equipment. The approach may result in a temporary increase in the release of oil but if successful could capture most of the oil and gas leaking from the riser.
NOAA continues to prepare daily trajectories for the nearshore and offshore oil. In the nearshore zone, moderate south to southwest winds are expected to last through the end of the week at 5-10 kts. Oil that was tending to move southwest from the source is anticipated to move toward the shoreline. The threat to shorelines in Breton Sound, Chandeleur Sound, and the northeast side of the Delta will be reduced while more shoreline impacts could occur near Timbalier Bay and the barrier islands off the coast of Alabama. In the offshore zone, satellite imagery analysis continues to show narrow bands of oil southeast of the main slick. Overflights to this region report only non contiguous, colorless sheens. Trajectories for remaining observed oil within this region suggest these scattered sheens will continue to be entrained in a large clockwise eddy (Eddy Franklin) that has pinched off the main Loop Current.

Fishery closure update: (effective June 1)
  • NOAA Fisheries Service revised the fishery closure effective 6:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 1. The closure now encompasses slightly more than 31 percent of the Gulf of Mexico exclusive economic zone.
Marine mammals and turtles (effective May 30):

Sea Turtles
  • The total number of sea turtles verified from April 30 to May 31 within the designated spill area is 253. Seven live turtles were captured on May 31 during directed search efforts from a search vessel that included NOAA, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission staff and other partners working approximately 40 miles offshore. All the turtles were pelagic stage juveniles (6 Kemp?s ridley and one green turtle), alive and very oiled. Their behavior was abnormal, but they were responsive. All were initially cleaned on the support vessel, received initial veterinary care and were transported to Audubon Aquarium outside New Orleans, where they are undergoing further care. Another Kemp?s ridley was captured during a skimmer vessel operation approximately 17 miles offshore, oiled and alive. This turtle was transported to shore by the US Coast Guard and Louisiana Department of Fish and Wildlife and is also now at the Audubon Aquarium undergoing further care. On water surveys for sea turtles will continue this week.
    The 253 turtles verified in the spill area include 12 turtles collected alive with visible external evidence of oil and one dead stranded turtle with visible external evidence of oil. All others have not had visible evidence of external oil. A total of 228 turtles stranded dead. A total of 15 stranded alive. Three of those subsequently died and one of the live stranded turtles ?caught in marine debris -- was disentangled and released. There are 21 turtles in rehabilitation. Turtle strandings during this time period have been higher in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama than in previous years for this same time period. This may be due in part to increased detection and reporting, but this does not fully account for the increase.

Situation: June 2, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Response:
BP began efforts to place a cap over the riser pipe leaking oil into the Gulf of Mexico. On June 1st, using a diamond bladed saw, BP managed to successfully complete one cut through the riser pipe. Today, during a second required cut before capping the pipe, the saw got stuck. BP?s goal is to free the saw from the pipe, replace the blade, and restart the cutting process. Once engineers complete the second cut, they will secure a cap over the pipe and connect it by a riser to a drillship. This approach, if successful, could contain most of the oil. Meanwhile, BP continues to drill two relief wells that should be complete by mid August.

NOAA scientists continue to generate surface oil trajectories. In the nearshore, onshore winds are expected to continue through Friday with speeds of 10-15 kts. The winds will result in northward movement of oil towards the Mississippi/Alabama barrier islands. The northeastward movement of oil could continue over the next few days threatening shorelines as far east as Pensacola, Fla. Threats to shorelines in Breton Sound, Chandeleur Sound, and the NE side of the Mississippi Delta will be reduced while west of the Delta, more shoreline impacts could occur.
In the offshore area, satellite imagery analysis continues to show narrow bands of oil to the SE and ESE of the main slick. Observers flying over this region confirmed colorless sheens in narrow bands. These scattered sheens will most likely continue to be entrained in a large clockwise eddy (Eddy Franklin) that has pinched off the main Loop Current. Satellite imagery also showed a narrow band of apparent sheen within Eddy Franklin as far south as approximately 27 degrees 15 minutes. If this sheen persists or has tar balls associated with it, there is potential for some of it to become entrained into the Loop Current and move toward the Florida Straits. Assessment:
NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data. Data on oiled resources and habitats are also being collected. </AGL:CONTAINER>

A 2,637 square mile area of the western-most boundary south of Louisiana was reopened today - oil was projected to be in this area, but was never actually observed there.
Marine mammals and turtles (effective June 1):

Sea Turtles
  • The total number of sea turtles verified from April 30 to June 1 within the designated spill area is 277. The on-water surveys by NOAA, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and other partners working under the Unified Command captured 10 heavily oiled young turtles (8 Kemp's ridley, 1 loggerhead, 1 hawksbill) in areas 40 miles offshore on Tuesday, June 1. The turtles' behavior was abnormal, but they were responsive All the turtles were cleaned aboard the vessel, received initial veterinary care and were transported to Audubon Aquarium outside New Orleans where they are receiving further care. In addition, Louisiana Department of Fish and Wildlife captured 4 live and one dead Kemp's ridley turtle, all oiled, in waters off Grand Isle, La. A total of 24 live turtles and one dead turtle have been captured during on-water surveys. Surveys continue this week.
    Oil was found covering the 24 live sea turtles, the one dead sea turtle captured during a directed survey, two live stranded sea turtles caught in skimming operations and one dead stranded turtle. All others have not had visible evidence of external oil. Of the 277 turtles verified from April 30 to June 1, a total of 232 turtles stranded dead, 20 stranded alive. Three of those subsequently died and one of the live stranded turtles ?caught in marine debris -- was disentangled and released. There are 40 turtles in rehabilitation. Turtle strandings during this time period have been higher in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama than in previous years for this same time period. This may be due in part to increased detection and reporting, but this does not fully account for the increase.
Dolphins
  • From April 30 to June 1, there have been 29 dead dolphins verified within the designated spill area. So far, one of the 29 dolphins had evidence of external oil. Because it was found on an oiled beach, we are unable at this time to determine whether the animal was covered in oil prior to its death or after its death. The other 28 dolphins have had no visible evidence of external oil. Since April 30, the stranding rate for dolphins in Louisiana has been higher than the historic numbers for the same time period in previous years. This may be due to increased detection and reporting and the lingering effects of the earlier observed spike in strandings.

Situation: June 3, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>BPs cut-and?cap approach to contain the oil leaking from the MC 252 Blow Out Preventer (BOP) has met with mixed success. On Wednesday, a diamond tipped saw became stuck in the pipe. Today, BP was able to slice through the remaining pipe with giant shears. The giant sheer cut is jagged which means the cap may not fit as tightly as officials hoped. Engineers are moving forward with placing the cap over the cut pipe. Once a riser attaches the cap to the surface, we will have a better sense of how much oil can be siphoned off. BP engineers expect that some oil will continue to leak into the Gulf around the cap flange and believe they will have a better sense of effectiveness within 12-24 hours. At this point, the best chance of completely stopping the flow will come when the two relief wells are completed in August.
Trajectories
OR&R?s modeling team continues to generate daily trajectories for the nearshore and offshore surface oil. Overflights are also conducted on a daily basis (weather permitting) to provide field verification of model trajectories. Onshore winds are expected to continue moving oil toward shorelines in Alabama, Mississippi and as far east as Freeport, FL. Threat to shorelines in Breton Sounds, Chandeleur Sound, and the NE side of the Mississippi Delta continue to decrease, while threats to shorelines west of the Delta between Timbaleir Bay and SW pass increase.
Offshore, satellite imagery analysis continues to show narrow bands of oil to the SE and ESE of the main slick. An overflight to the region on June 2, observed one narrow semi-contiguous band of colorless sheen stretching approximately 60 miles. Trajectories suggest these sheens will continue to be entrained in a large clockwise eddy (Eddy Franklin) that has pinched off the main Loop Current. South of approximately 26 degrees N, only scattered transparent sheens were observed in conjunction with patches of seaweed. If this sheen persists or has tarballs associated with it, there is potential for some of it to become entrained into the Loop Current and move toward the Florida Straits. Assessment:
NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data. Data on oiled resources and habitats are also being collected. </AGL:CONTAINER>

The BP attempt to place the "Top Hat" last night appears successful and they have begun pumping gas and oil to the surface. There is hope that a significant portion of the flow will be captured but the amount is unknown at this time.
OR&R?s modeling team continues to generate daily trajectories for the nearshore and offshore surface oil. Overflights are also conducted on a daily basis (weather permitting) to provide field verification of model trajectories. Onshore winds are expected to continue moving oil toward shorelines in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the panhandle of Florida. More oil was reported on Grand Isle beach, along with oiled animals and debris. </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Report on sea turtles and marine mammals as of 6 p.m. June 3, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>A total of 280 sea turtles have been verified from April 30 to June 3 within the designated spill area (The designated spill area for sea turtles and marine mammals is the Texas/Louisiana border to Apalachicola, Fla; it is based on projections of where sea turtles and marine mammals could travel after exposure to oil). The on-water turtle surveys by NOAA, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and other partners have captured 24 live turtles and one dead turtle -- all heavily oiled -- in areas 20 to 40 miles offshore. The turtles' behavior was abnormal, but they were responsive All the turtles were cleaned of oil aboard the vessel, received initial veterinary care and were transported to Audubon Aquarium outside New Orleans where they are receiving further care. On water surveys are continuing. In addition to the oil observed on the 25 captured turtles, external oil was visible on three live stranded sea turtles (two caught in skimming operations) and one dead stranded turtle. All others have not had visible evidence of external oil.
Of the 280 turtles verified from April 30 to June 3, a total of 234 turtles stranded dead, 21 stranded alive. Three of those subsequently died. Three live stranded turtles have been released, including two that were found in Mississippi and released after rehabilitation in Ten Thousand Islands, Fla. There are 39 turtles in rehabilitation. Turtle strandings during this time period have been higher in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama than in previous years for this same time period. This may be due in part to increased detection and reporting, but this does not fully account for the increase.
From April 30 to June 3, 30 dead dolphins have stranded within the designated spill area and one live dolphin stranded, but died on the beach. So far, one of the 31 dolphins had evidence of external oil. Because it was found on an oiled beach, we are unable at this time to determine whether the animal was covered in oil prior to its death or after its death. The other 30 dolphins have had no visible evidence of external oil. Since April 30, the stranding rate for dolphins in Louisiana has been higher than the historic numbers for the same time period in previous years. This may be due to increased detection and reporting and the lingering effects of the earlier observed spike in strandings. Assessment

The change is at the northeast edge of the closed area, and encompasses the projected movement of oil toward Panama City Beach, Florida. The total federal fishery closure now measures 78,603 square miles, or about 33% of the federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Closing fishing in these areas is a precautionary measure to ensure that seafood from the Gulf will remain safe for consumers. Any changes to the closure are announced daily at 12 p.m. Eastern at sero.nmfs.noaa.gov and take effect at 6 p.m. Eastern the same day. </AGL:CONTAINER>

Situation: June 6, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Response
BP continues to capture some oil and burn some gas at the surface using its containment dome technique, which is being executed under the federal government?s direction. After cutting off a portion of the riser, BP placed a containment device over it in order to capture oil at its source.
OR&R?s modeling team continues to generate daily trajectories for the nearshore and offshore surface oil. Overflights are also conducted on a daily basis (weather permitting) to provide field verification of model trajectories. Yesterday?s forecast of winds from the south and southwest currently remains the same although winds may diminish tomorrow, creating improved response conditions.
NOAA will be leading training on shoreline assessment technique later this week in order to fill the need created by increasing oil coming ashore. Survey crews conducted three cycles of flights to locate impacted birds and other wildlife. These pilots fly over impacted areas and report oiled pelicans and any other wildlife back to response command centers to guide the response actions of rescue and rehabilitation teams. </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Closures </AGL:CONTAINER>
<AGL:CONTAINER>No change today, the June 5 closure is still in effect. On Saturday, NOAA added 565 square miles to the fishing closed area; the change took effect at 6 p.m. Eastern yesterday. The change is at the northeast edge of the closed area, and encompasses the projected movement of oil toward Panama City Beach, Florida. See current map. The total federal fishery closure now measures 78,603 square miles, or about 33% of the federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Closing fishing in these areas is a precautionary measure to ensure that seafood from the Gulf will remain safe for consumers. Any changes to the closure are announced daily at 12 p.m. Eastern at sero.nmfs.noaa.gov and take effect at 6 p.m. Eastern the same day. </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Sea Turtles and Marine Mammals (effective June 5, 2010) </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>A total of 289 sea turtles have been verified from April 30 to June 5 within the designated spill area (The designated spill area for sea turtles and marine mammals is from the Texas/Louisiana border to Apalachicola, Florida). Between Friday, June 4, and Saturday, June 5, seven turtle strandings were verified, including one live, heavily-oiled sea turtle in Alabama, one dead in Alabama, three dead in Mississippi and two dead in Louisiana. In addition, two of the heavily-oiled Kemp's Ridley sea turtles recovered last week in the ongoing offshore search and rescue operation died at the Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans, leaving 22 from these rescue missions in rehab at the aquarium. The on-water turtle search and rescue operation by NOAA, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and other partners working under the Unified Command captured 25 turtles, one was brought in dead. On water surveys are continuing this week. A total of 31 stranded or captured turtles have had external oil. These include the 25 captured turtles, four live stranded sea turtles (two caught in skimming operations) and two dead stranded turtles. All others have not had visible evidence of external oil.
Of the 289 turtles verified from April 30 to June 5, a total of 242 turtles stranded dead, 22 stranded alive. Three of those subsequently died. Three live stranded turtles have been released, including two that were found in Mississippi and released after rehabilitation in Ten Thousand Islands, Florida. There are 38 turtles in rehabilitation. Turtle strandings during this time period have been higher in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama than in previous years for this same time period. This may be due in part to increased detection and reporting, but this does not fully account for the increase.
From April 30 to June 5, 31 dead dolphins have stranded within the designated spill area and two live dolphins have stranded. One died on the beach and another that stranded in Florida was euthanized. So far, one of the 33 stranded dolphins had evidence of external oil. Because it was found on an oiled beach, we are unable at this time to determine whether the animal was covered in oil prior to its death or after its death. The other 32 dolphins have had no visible evidence of external oil. Since April 30, the stranding rate for dolphins in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama has been higher than the historic numbers for the same time period in previous years. In part, this may be due to increased detection and reporting and the lingering effects of an earlier observed spike in strandings for the winter of 2010. A stranding is defined as a dead or debilitated animal that washes ashore or is found in the water.
Assessment
 NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data.

<AGL:CONTAINER>Situation: June 7, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>BP continues to collect oil and gas through the ?Top Hat? assembly placed over the well head several days ago. The assembly is collecting approximately 10,000- 11,000 bbls/day. This is only a portion of the total amount of oil leaking from the riser. BP is working to optimize the ?Top Hat? system and engineers project it will be a few days before an assessment can be made as to the success of the containment effort. Additional enhancements are also being considered. The first planned enhancement will use hoses and manifold deployed during the ?top kill? operation to take oil and gas from holes on the side of the MC 252 blow-out preventer (BOP) through a separate riser to a vessel on the surface. This additional system may help increase the amount of oil and gas that can be captured from the well and is currently expected to be available for deployment in mid-June. BP continues to drill the two relief wells that are scheduled to be completed by mid-August.
Response
In the nearshore zone, light onshore (S/SW/WSW) winds are forecast to continue into the coming week at 10 knots or less. Persistent southerly winds have resulted in continued movement of the slick towards the Mississippi and Alabama barrier islands. The westerly component of winds has moved oil east along the Florida Panhandle. Trajectories indicate coastal regions between Dauphin Island, Louisiana and Freeport, Florida will continue to experience shoreline contacts throughout this forecast period while threats to shorelines in Breton Sound, Chandeleur Sound, and the NE side of the Mississippi Delta are reduced. Any remaining floating oil to the west of the Delta could come ashore between Timbalier Bay and Southwest Pass. Today, a mission was flown to search for sheen or surface oil entering or near the Loop Current and none was discovered. Also, satellite imagery showed an anomaly near Southwest Pass in Louisiana but a subsequent overflight revealed only sediment from the Mississippi River. </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>BP has been collecting oil via the "Top Hat" for 5 days. The amount oil collected today increased from approximately 11,000 barrels for the past few days to 14,842 in the past 24 hours. Engineers continue to work to optimize the amount of oil collected from the riser. BP will know more about the final containment potential of the top hat operation within the next day or two. </AGL:CONTAINER>
<AGL:CONTAINER>
Response

Efforts to collect, burn, disperse, and contain the oil continue in full force. Skimmers have recovered early 15.86 million gallons of oily water and nearly 3.58 million gallons of oil has been burned in 131 in-situ burns. In addition, responders have deployed more than 4.80 million feet of sorbent and containment boom.

Weak, offshore (NW) winds are forecast for Tuesday, but are expected to become SE overnight. Onshore (SE/ESE) winds are forecast to continue through Friday at 10 knots or less. Persistent southwesterly winds over the last few days have resulted in northward movement of the slick towards the Mississippi/Alabama barrier islands and westward movement along the Florida Panhandle. Models show alongshore currents becoming more westward over the next few days, inhibiting further eastward movement. However, coastal regions between Dauphin Island and Freeport may continue to experience shoreline contacts throughout this forecast period. To the west of the Delta, any remaining floating oil in this region could come ashore between Timbalier Bay and Southwest Pass.
Satellite imagery analysis and overflight observations continue to indicate patches of sheen to the SE of the main slick. Scattered sheens and tar balls observed in these regions may be getting entrained into the northern edge of the large clockwise eddy (Eddy Franklin) that has pinched off the main Loop Current (LC). Trajectories indicate that some of these sheens may continue southward along the eastern edge of Eddy Franklin, whereas some may be getting entrained into the counter-clockwise eddy to the NE of the main LC eddy. A Coast Guard overflight today in the Florida Strait saw no signs of oil. A second overflight off the west coast of Florida saw no oil.

Deepwater Horizon Incident, Gulf of Mexico

As the nation?s leading scientific resource for oil spills, NOAA has been on the scene of the BP oil spill from the start, providing coordinated scientific weather and biological response services to federal, state and local organizations. More

Situation: June 9, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>BP engineers have been working over the past five days to optimize the 'top hat' containment device performance. Their efforts appear to be helping. The collection of oil has steadily increased over the past six days and BP hopes to ramp up the collection rate from 15,000 to 28,000 barrels per day over the next week. As collection increases, BP, in coordination with federal response agencies, will increase processing capacity at the Enterprise drillship and a service rig at the water's surface in order to handle the increased load. In addition, BP anticipates adding another 5,000 to 10,000 barrels a day of capacity by pulling oil and gas holes in the failed blowout preventer. This operation involves connecting the rig used during the 'top kill' procedure, the Q4000, via one or more pipes to the holes and could be completed by next week. </AGL:CONTAINER>

Response

Onshore (SE) winds are forecast to continue through Friday at 15 knots or less. Persistent southwesterly winds last week resulted in northward movement of the slick towards the Mississippi/Alabama barrier islands and westward movement along the Florida Panhandle. Models show alongshore currents becoming more westward over the next few days, inhibiting further eastward movement of any oil. However, coastal regions between Horn Island, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida may continue to experience limited shoreline oiling throughout this forecast period. To the west of the Mississippi delta, any remaining floating oil in this region could come ashore between Timbalier Bay and Southwest Pass.
In the offshore zone, satellite imagery analysis continues to indicate patches of sheen to the SE of the main slick. Scattered sheens and tar balls observed in this region may be getting entrained into the northern edge of the large clockwise eddy that has pinched off the main Loop Current (LC). Trajectories indicate that some of these sheens may continue southward along the eastern edge of this main LC eddy, whereas some may be getting entrained into the counter-clockwise eddy to the NE of the main LC eddy. Satellite imagery of the Florida Strait and Gulf Stream saw no anomalies. However, a research vessel confirmed tarballs mixed in with seaweed along the NE edge of the main LC eddy.

<AGL:CONTAINER>Sea Turtles and Marine Mammals (effective June 8, 2010) </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>A total of 322 sea turtles have been verified from April 30 to June 8 within the designated spill area (The designated spill area for sea turtles and marine mammals is from the Texas/Louisiana border to Apalachicola, Florida). Between Monday, June 7, and Tuesday, June 8, 7 turtle strandings were verified; all were dead (Four in Mississippi, two in Louisiana, and one in Alabama. One from Louisiana had visible external oil on it). Thirty heavily oiled sea turtles have been captured in the on-water turtle search and rescue operation by NOAA, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and other partners working under the Unified Command. Twenty- five of those captured turtles are in rehabilitation at Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans, two turtles were collected dead and three captured alive subsequently died at the aquarium. A total of 37 stranded or captured turtles have had visible evidence of external oil. These include the 30 captured turtles from the on-water operation, four live stranded sea turtles (two caught in skimming operations) and three dead stranded sea turtles. All others have not had visible evidence of external oil. </AGL:CONTAINER>
<AGL:CONTAINER>
Of the 322 turtles verified from April 30 to June 8, a total of 270 stranded turtles were found dead, 22 stranded alive. Three of those subsequently died. Three live stranded turtles have been released, including two that were found in Mississippi and released after rehabilitation in Ten Thousand Islands, Florida. There are 41 turtles in rehabilitation. Turtle strandings during this time period have been higher in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama than in previous years for this same time period. This may be due in part to increased detection and reporting, but this does not fully account for the increase.

From April 30 to June 8, 38 stranded dolphins have been verified in the designated spill area. Of this, 36 dolphins stranded dead and two stranded alive. One died on the beach and another that stranded in Florida was euthanized. So far, two of the 38 stranded dolphins had evidence of external oil. However, we are unable at this time to determine whether the animals were externally oiled before or after death. Since April 30, the stranding rate for dolphins in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama has been higher than the historic numbers for the same time period in previous years. In part, this may be due to increased detection and reporting and the lingering effects of an earlier observed spike in strandings for the winter of 2010. A stranding is defined as a dead or debilitated animal that washes ashore or is found in the water.

Assessment

NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data. Data on oiled resources and habitats are also being collected. </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>Updated daily
Situation: June 10, 2010 </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>The ?top hat? containment cap installed on June 3 continues to collect oil and gas flowing from the MC252 well and transporting it to a drillship on the surface. The efficiency of the containment operation is improving, with oil collection reaching 17,000 barrels/day today. The transfer of crude oil from the drillship to the barge Massachusetts began the morning of June 9. When the process is complete, the barge will transport the oil to an onshore terminal. The transfer will free up space on the drillship to collect more oil from the well. </AGL:CONTAINER>
<AGL:CONTAINER>
Work on the first relief well continues and has currently reached a depth of 13,978 feet. The second relief well is at 8,576 feet. The target depth for the wells is around 18,000 ft which should be reached in August. The relief wells should stop any remaining oil and gas flow from the well into the Gulf of Mexico.

Almost 3,600 vessels are involved in the response effort, including skimmers, tugs, barges and recovery vessels. Operations to skim oil from the surface of the water now have recovered, in total, approximately 383,000 barrels (16.1 million gallons) of oily liquid.

Response

In the nearshore zone, onshore (SE/SSE) winds are forecast to continue through Friday at 10 knots or less. Persistent southwesterly winds last week resulted in northward movement of the oil towards the Mississippi/Alabama barrier islands and westward movement along the Florida Panhandle. Models show alongshore currents becoming more westward over the next few days, inhibiting further eastward movement. However, coastal regions in Mississippi Sound west of Pensacola may continue to experience oiling on shorelines. The change to persistent southeasterly winds is also resulting in movement of oil towards Chandeleur and Breton Sound and the Mississippi Delta.
Offshore, satellite imagery analysis continues to indicate possible patches of sheen to the SE of the main slick. Scattered sheens and tar balls observed in these regions may be getting entrained into the northern edge of the large clockwise eddy (Eddy Franklin) that has pinched off the main Loop Current (LC). Trajectories indicate that some of these sheens may continue southward along the eastern edge of Eddy Franklin, whereas some may be getting entrained into a counterclockwise eddy to the NE of the main LC eddy. A USCG overflight off the west coast of Florida saw no oil. Satellite imagery from yesterday saw a possible sheen SE of the source. Uncertainty of this anomaly was medium to high.

<AGL:CONTAINER>Sea Turtles and Marine Mammals (effective June 9, 2010) </AGL:CONTAINER>

<AGL:CONTAINER>A total of 331 sea turtles have been verified from April 30 to June 9 within the designated spill area (The designated spill area for sea turtles and marine mammals is from the Texas/Louisiana border to Apalachicola, Florida). Between Tuesday, June 8, and Wednesday, June 9, nine turtle strandings were verified, including one dead oiled turtle from Louisiana, one live turtle from Louisiana that is being examined for evidence of oil, five dead turtles from Mississippi, and one live, unoiled turtle caught on a hook and line in Florida and released. Thirty heavily oiled sea turtles have been captured in the on-water turtle search and rescue operation by NOAA, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and other partners working under the Wildlife Branch of the Unified Command. Twenty- five of those captured turtles are in rehabilitation at Audubon Aquarium outside New Orleans. Two turtles were collected dead and three captured alive subsequently died at the aquarium. A total of 38 stranded or captured turtles have had visible evidence of external oil. These include the 30 captured turtles from the on-water operation, four live stranded sea turtles (two caught in skimming operations) and four dead stranded sea turtles. All others have not had visible evidence of external oil.
Of the 331 turtles verified from April 30 to June 9, a total of 277 stranded turtles were found dead, and 24 stranded alive. Three of those subsequently died. Four live stranded turtles have been released, including two that were found in Mississippi and released after rehabilitation in Florida, and one caught on a hook and line in Florida where it was released. There are 42 turtles in rehabilitation. Turtle strandings during this time period have been higher in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama than in previous years for this same time period. This may be due in part to increased detection and reporting, but this does not fully account for the increase.

From April 30 to June 9, 38 stranded dolphins have been verified in the designated spill area. Of this, 36 dolphins stranded dead and two stranded alive. One died on the beach and another that stranded in Florida was euthanized. So far, two of the 38 stranded dolphins had evidence of external oil. However, we are unable at this time to determine whether the animals were externally oiled before or after death. Since April 30, the stranding rate for dolphins in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama has been higher than the historic numbers for the same time period in previous years. In part, this may be due to increased detection and reporting and the lingering effects of an earlier observed spike in strandings for the winter of 2010. A stranding is defined as a dead or debilitated animal that washes ashore or is found in the water.

Assessment

NOAA?s Damage Assessment Remediation and Restoration Program is conducting a Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The focus currently is to assemble existing data on resources and their habitats and collect baseline (pre-spill impact) data. Data on oiled resources and habitats are also being collected. </AGL:CONTAINER>
