Right now, it’s about the size of a football field and officials are keeping a close eye on the situation. Several emergency response teams are on standby as the Coast Guard races to determine what's causing it.

The oil appeared roughly two miles off the coast in the same area where a large oil spill happened in October.

The Coast Guard is conducting regular flights over the area while state teams are stationed along several beaches. No oil has impacted shoreline areas at this time.
