MARQUETTE -- If you made your way up to Upper Harbor in Marquette on Monday, you may have noticed a slightly unusual sight.

An oil boom has been placed along the part of the harbor after the Coast Guard observed an oil sheen Sunday night.

So far, no oil or sheen has been captured Monday.

Authorities will keep the boom in place overnight as a precaution for any leakage.
