- NOTE: Beach segments are labeled on the map with the highest level of oiling found along that segment. This designation does not indicate the level of oiling for the entire area. For example, if crews found heavy oiling over 10 meters of a beach segment and the rest of the beach was lightly oiled, the entire length of the segment would be shown on the map as heavily oiled.
