<p class="MsoNormal">We have reached one hundred EOPS reports. Since 2011, we provided aerial observations and documented visible features at the surface of Puget Sound from a floatplane. This unique perspective from the air featured Puget Sound's natural beauty,
oceanographic complexity, ecological treasures, and raised awareness of the challenges the water body is facing, today. Our image-rich documentation of known eutrophication indicators ranges from algal and Noctiluca blooms, macroalgae, jellyfish to human stressors
and provides a visually capturing time-capsule of issues facing Puget Sound, today. The report is rich in educational and outreach material, inspired numerous news reports, and drew academic and public attention during the period of marine heat wave of the
north Pacific, The Blob.<o:p></o:p></p>
