Novorossijsk region

Comment
Biogenic slicks stretched for many kilometers along local current direction. They are frequently observed this time of year under weak south wind. These are not ship wakes; if a ship happens to cross them, they break and then recover in 15-20 minutes. The image is taken from a vantage point on the shore.

Supplementary data
Wind: 1-3 m/s, south-south-west.
