course of this spill are available in the
Trajectory Map Archive.
NOAA Mapping Tool for Oil Spill Response
GeoPlatform.gov/gulfresponse is a new online tool that provides you
with near-real time information about the response effort. Developed
by NOAA with the EPA, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Department of
Interior, the site offers you a “one-stop shop” for spill response
information. The site integrates the latest data the federal
responders have about the oil spill’s trajectory with fishery area
closures, wildlife data and place-based Gulf Coast resources — such
as pinpointed locations of oiled shoreline and current positions of
deployed research ships — into one customizable interactive map.
