Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Deepwater Horizon MC252 response data from the Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA) containing Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Technique (SCAT) data collected between 2010-05-05 and 2014-03-25 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NCEI Accession 0163818)

This Archival Information Package (AIP) contains Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA) GIS layers that represent surface shoreline oiling characteristics as observed by field surveys performed by Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Techniques (SCAT) teams as part of the response efforts for the Mississippi Canyon 252 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Each vector line represents a band of oil exhibiting similar coverage and thickness characteristics along the intertidal zone of the shoreline or interior of marsh habitats at the time of the survey. The SCAT process is a systematic approach that uses standard terminology to collect data on shoreline oiling conditions. Data collected by the multi-agency teams is used to develop shoreline cleanup plans intended to maximize the recovery of oiled habitats and resources, while minimizing the risk of injury from cleanup efforts. These data were used as part of the Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan (PDARP).
