Table 1 lists the number of days in each month when slicks were sighted in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is divided into the western Gulf (west of 92oW), the central Gulf (87o to 92oW) centered roughly on the longitude of the Mississippi delta, and the eastern Gulf (east of 87oW). Earliest sighting in 2005 was in the western Gulf in March. ................
