From past experaice.... Like 15 years ago...until today

There has always been tar ball wash up in Cameron and Holly Beach area for years..... Dad told me they have found tar ball in the 80's in Lake Aurthur Lake on the beach....

Tar balls are not uncommon for the South West coast but I agree I needs to be looked at...

I would not raise a great concern or freak out about any oil to the west yet....No Oil has been spotted in any heavy form from Marsh Island west..... We have lots of inland and close platforms to who would start reporting any heavy oil passing thought.... I know some small spots or sheen will pass with out calls but heavy oil would get called in...
