Bloom<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>As anticipated, a Heterosigma bloom is developing in North
Puget Sound in the eastern Bays and spreading out into the main body of the
sound in areas immediately north of Cypress Island-Guemes Island and to the
east. Aerial observations and ground truthing were conducted 28 July
2009 and sampling will continue. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Extremely warm temperatures, vertical stratification from
river runoff, mild winds and neap tides are combining to exacerbate the
situation. I recommend that others increase their vigilance and
please share your observations or comments with the rest of us. <o:p></o:p></P>
