National Ocean Service Aids Well #59 Incident Response

An overflight displays the affected area of marsh environment near Garden Island Bay, Louisiana on April 27, 2025. A safety zone has been enacted in the area, and a boom has been placed to contain the released product. (Image credit: US Coast Guard)
NOAA’s National Ocean Service is aiding in the response to an oil and natural gas release in a marsh environment near the Spectrum OpCo, LLC, Garden Island Bay Production Facility company's well in Plaquemines Parish, southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana.

NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration is providing on-scene scientific support, including providing oil spill trajectory analyses and forecasts, identifying potential resources at risk, assisting with overflights of the spill, and integrating aerial and on-water observations into spatial maps for use by responders. NOAA Satellites is providing remote satellite support to NOS and the US Coast Guard.

Beaver dam and pond in the Snohomish Estuary’s Quilceda marsh (48.05° N, 122.19° W). Note shrubs and spruce trees in background, tidal sedge ( _Carex lyngbyei_) in the foreground. A log has drifted in on a higher high tide and has come to rest on the side of the beaver dam. The pond is waist to chest deep with an accumulation of soft, unconsolidated sediments. During higher high tides water reaches the marsh surface. Photo by the author (Figure S1). (Image credit: W. Gregory Hood., 2026, PLOS One, CC-BY 4.0 (https://creative)
