'Marée noire' is a French equivalent of 'oil spill'.

The feminine noun 'marée', which literally means 'tide', takes as its singular definite article 'la' ['the'], and as its singular indefinite article 'une' ['a, one']. The feminine adjective 'noire' means 'black'. Together, they're pronounced 'mah-reh nwahr'.
