Officials began receiving several reports of oil sheens spotted in the water as well as reports of oil smell. The area is near the site of the Oct. 1 oil spill that dumped about 25,000 gallons of crude oil in the ocean.
A caller reported the sheen to authorities late Wednesday afternoon. The Coast Guard and state officials plan to investigate at first light Thursday.
The sheen, which was first reported about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, is roughly the size of a football field. Its source has not been confirmed.
