🌊 Cerulean is valuable for identifying human-caused oil pollution, but it also captures natural oil seeps, which can make it challenging to determine the source of marine oil slicks.
⚠️To inform users about this challenge, we’ve integrated a natural seep warning system into the tool: bit.ly/49w8ERm
