The agency also said NOAA provided the University of the Philippines-Marine Sciences Institute support for scientific modeling to estimate the trajectory of the spill that originated in the waters between Naujan and Pola where the sunken tanker was found by a Japanese remotely operated vehicle Tuesday morning, March 21, almost a month since it sank in Feb. 28 with 800,000 liters of industrial oil.
