Description: This dataset compiles information such as date, location, and amount of oil spilled for oil spills that have occured within the Gulf of America from 2000-2023. Much of this data is contained within reports from different sources. While this dataset attempts to compile as much information as possible, some oil spills may be missing. Data was sourced from NOAA reports, ERMA, DARRP, and Enhanced Global Oil Spill Dataset. Only data on oil spills from 2000 onwards and within the Gulf was included. Magnitude of the oil spill is represented by the size of the dot and based on the number of barrells spilled.
