Organizations indicate that, according to their research, oil spots were observed in the marine area since February 6. Organizations denounce that the spill in the Gulf of Mexico began in February and was concealed. Satellite images show oil spots since February and evidence early knowledge of the spill, according to civil organizations, which accuse lack of public alert and official opacity. The hydrocarbon spill in the Gulf of Mexico would have begun in early February 2026 on a pipeline of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex), and not in March as federal authorities maintained, according to a statement from several organizations disseminated on Monday by the Mexican Center for Environmental Law (CEMDA). According to the information presented, satellite and operational evidence indicates that the spill originated around a 36-inch pipeline, identified as “OLD AK C”, in the Campeche Sound.
