2 The NOAA/NESDIS Marine Pollution Program routinely monitors all US coastal waters for man- made oil spills and provides satellite analyses of any surface-based oil that is seen. Satellite analyses are used to create an MPSR (Marine Pollution Surveillance Report) that is distributed by email to users such as NOAA’s National Ocean Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, and State Governments. Program was already in an experimental stage prior to the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill that affected the Gulf of Mexico. The program became operational in May 2011. Numerous types of multi-spectral and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery are used to monitor for oil spills. Marine Pollution Program
