Crude oil from this platform continued to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/taylor-oil-spill-louisiana-coast-guard-60-minutes-2021-11-07\/\">leak<\/a>&nbsp;for over a decade, in what would become the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/12\/22\/climate\/taylor-energy-oil-spill-gulf.html\">longest running oil spill<\/a>&nbsp;in United States history.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/darrp.noaa.gov\/oil-spills\/taylor-energy\">NOAA<\/a>&nbsp;began tracking the region with government-provided satellite data to generate&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/coastalscience.noaa.gov\/data_reports\/an-integrated-assessment-of-oil-and-gas-release-into-the-marine-environment-at-the-former-taylor-energy-mc20-site\/\">reports<\/a>&nbsp;on the situation. In 2018, NOAA reached out to Planet to explore how having a perspective of change on a near-daily basis around the platform could help inform their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith rapidly changing activity in the ocean \u2013 from increasingly severe storms to growing industrial demands \u2013 I\u2019m so glad that NOAA is able to use our datasets to continue their vital efforts to protect coastal communities and ecosystems from hazards like oil spills and illegal fishing,\u201d said Planet Federal\u2019s Vice President Jon Powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using our PlanetScope imagery which provides near-daily imagery at 3 m resolution, NOAA set up an Area of Interest (AOI) around the leaking oil platform and received timely imagery of the region, supporting their evaluations of the quantity of oil leaking into the surrounding environment. These updates were shared within their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ospo.noaa.gov\/Products\/ocean\/mpsp.html\">Marine Pollution Surveillance Report<\/a>. Following this work, NOAA expanded their work us, and today they observe a large region covering approximately 35,000 sq km in the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/corpeng-pulse-assets\/uploads\/2022\/07\/taylor_oil_leak_gulf_of_mexico_layout_1400px_web_wm-1024x366.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-149701\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By having this frequent perspective, NOAA monitors a number of platforms, looking to identify oil spills early on. This near-daily data helps NOAA\u2019s audiences stay informed on oil spills in the region. Their regular reports on the oil platforms are distributed to a community including the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boem.gov\/\">Bureau of Ocean Energy Management<\/a>&nbsp;(BOEM) and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsee.gov\/\">Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement<\/a>&nbsp;(BSEE), which are integral government departments that support regulations and enforcement for environmental protection and oceanic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorking with Planet, NOAA gets a more complete and frequent stream of information about the status of our oceanic and coastal world. Planet\u2019s high-cadence imaging helps us identify and track potential oil spills, and with tasking capabilities, we\u2019ve advanced our situational awareness for vessel monitoring or marine debris,\u201d said Jerome Fisher, Physical Scientist at NOAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOAA also leverages our tasking capabilities with SkySat\u2019s 50 cm resolution imagery to gain deeper situational awareness of activities happening in sea waters. For example, with oil spills, they are able to identify details of operational facilities and delineate oil spread with greater accuracy. SkySat further enables them to identify illegal fishing vessels operating in \u201cno-go\u201d or marine protected areas where fishing and traversing is prohibited due to potentially vulnerable coral reef communities. These tasking efforts have also been used by NOAA to monitor large humpback whale migrations and identify beached marine mammals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SkySat imagery is also being evaluated by NOAA analysts for its ability to show marine debris, either at sea or in rivers. Its high resolution makes it a good candidate for debris detection in situations where other satellite imagery would not be effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/aerospace\/\">aerospace<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/agile-aerospace\/\">Agile aerospace<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/earth-observation\/\">earth observation<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/eo\/\">EO<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/newspace\/\">newspace<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/planet\/\">planet<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/planet-labs\/\">planet labs<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/satellite\/\">Satellite<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/satellite-data\/\">satellite data<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/satellite-imagery\/\">satellite imagery<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planet.com\/pulse\/tag\/satellites\/\">satellites<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source &gt;&gt;&gt; Planet Labs PBC&nbsp;|&nbsp;July 20, 2022 Pulse Home &gt; News &gt; NOAA Contracts with &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/uncategorized\/noaa-contracts-with-planet-to-gain-situational-awareness-of-oil-spills-marine-debris-and-marine-life\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"more-button\">Continue Reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">NOAA Contracts With Planet To Gain Situational Awareness Of Oil Spills, Marine Debris, And Marine Life<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3885"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3885"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3887,"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3885\/revisions\/3887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eos.co.id\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
