The goal of the documentation is to provide timely and spatially nested information on the patchiness and occurrence of visible surface features in Puget Sound.

 

We use our routine commute flight between Kenmore Airbase and Olympia to document current marine water conditions by camera. We are able to add this feature to the program at no extra cost. 

 

Observations include:

·         River plumes, eddies and fronts

·         Algae blooms and mass aggregations of organisms

·         Floating debris (wood, macro-algae, plastic etc)

·         Oil spills. 

 

We hope the images are inspiring and informative.

 

We are always looking for constructive feedback to improve our products.

 

With best regards,

 

Christopher
