Re: Blooms and Fising
As of yesterday there were no reports of jellies or red tide. The more east you go the more the water gets yeccky from the freaking beach renourishment project. Rain is causing some localised flooding clouding the water at storm water runoff locations. NMFS station data shows iron concentration is up (probably from runoff) but ocean Ph is luckily up (acid). Dissolved oxygen is up. Probably why there is more algae, well, that and the strong wind. Just FYI, Ph must be down (base) or neutral, iron concentration must be high and dissolved oxygen must be up to trigger a red tide bloom.
