An MH-65 helicopter said the spill, comprised almost entirely of gasoline, was about 500 yards long. The party responsible hired a salvage crew to cleanup the spill, which is being monitored by the Coast Guard.
No waterways were closed, but boaters were urged to use caution near the area, The Coast Guard said.
