<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Heterosigma is blooming in central Puget Sound.
Although the total extent of the bloom is not known, cell counts over the
weekend were higher in the backwater areas of Kitsap County and Bainbridge
Island (Port Blakely and Brownsville). <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>However, ambient cell concentrations as high as 1.7 million
cells per liter were recorded last night near Bainbridge Island/Clam Bay fish
farm areas but mitigation efforts (upwelling of deep water) is apparently
effective in reducing cell concentrations to 0.3 million cells per liter in the
fish cages. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The bloom was first reported late Friday night, but I didn’t
receive the information until just now. With the wind and rain
expected today, it may attenuate the intensity of the bloom, although clearing
and sun tomorrow (Tuesday) may allow for the bloom to become
re-established. It could go either way based on past experience and
the amount of wind mixing and duration/intensity of the low pressure cell moving
through is key in this process. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>More information may be available later today.<o:p></o:p></P>
