reports for Naples and Marco Island beaches.
Oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig incident is far to the north of the Naples area in waters
south of Louisiana. Even with small amounts of oil entering the Gulf of Mexico's loop cCurrent,
Southwest Florida is still far from the projected path of the spill. The loop current, instead of
flowing south, has created a circular eddy and will keep any oil in the central Gulf far from any
landfall in Southwest Florida for the present time.
"We have NO indicators of any potential impact for Collier County. Loop current and wind patterns
continue
to keep the spill well away from Southwest Florida." said Dan Summers, Collier County
Bureau of Emergency Services Director. "We continue to conduct appropriate readiness planning,
but have no indicators of any immediate concern for Collier County at the present time."
While not everything that washes onshore may be attributed to Deepwater Horizon, Floridians
and visitors are recommended to report any suspected oil impacts to the State Warning Point
by calling 1-877-2-SAVE-FL (1-877-272-8335), or by dialing #DEP from any wireless device.
Reported sightings will be evaluated
and verified.
Addition questions should be directed to the Joint Information Center at (985) 902-5231.
