Comment
The image is taken from a helicopter. 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.

Supplementary data
Wind: 1-3 m/s.
