U.S. Coast Guard receives over 2,000 water pollution reports after Ida

By the numbers: The Coast Guard has received more than 2,113 reports of contamination and pollution in waterways since Ida struck, 826 of which have been assessed the Washington Post first reported.

• The Coast Guard plans to follow up on each report.

The big picture: Roughly 88% of offshore oil production in the region was closed and over 100 platforms were still not being used on Tuesday, Reuters notes.

• The Coast Guard has been conducting flyovers off the coast of southeastern Louisiana as part of its response to "multiple oil spills along Southeast Louisiana," per a statement Sunday.
• Among the reports the Coast Guard is investigating is a large oil spill first detected last week in Bay Marchand, two miles south of Port Fourchon, which has since reduced in size after containment efforts.

Zoom in: Talos Energy, a Houston-based company that previously owned that pipeline, said after after hiring divers that an old broken pipeline was the likely source of the spill.

• Talos, which also paid for cleanup crews, said in a statement it had ceased production operations in the area in 2017.
