This drone video was taken by my buddy in Montegut who is an oyster fisherman. There was hardly no media coverage of the spill until he shared this video and others, and his guys first hand accounts Drone Video of Oil Spill with NOLA and BR media.

LOOP first said it was 12k gallons, then after a couple of weeks I read 31k gallons. It seems like the media coverage is getting more attention to the spill and clean up efforts. Shrimp larvae (on top of water table now) and oyster harvests could be impacted.

I fished Cocodrie on Saturday. Ran between Caillou Boca and Coon Point on the way in from offshore, wind blowing 10-15 mph. Had a decent chop in the Gulf. When we got behind the island, we could smell the oil and for as far as you could see, there wasnt a ripple on the water for 3-or 4 square miles. Weirdest thing I have seen in a while. After a few miles of riding through this area, we quit smelling the oil and the chop picked back up.

There were 20-30 boats putting out oil boom and working the beaches.

I shared your reply with my buddy and he said the same thing:

I noticed this phenomenon the last few days. It’s dead slick where the oil is. Even with a windy chop. Fn weird

Don't tell anyone on California about this. Trump just signed an EO about California.
