SoundHAB: Heterosigma showing up north of the border

[Nicky Haigh]

We are starting to see Heterosigma in areas around Vancouver - so far
the only significant levels are at the Jervis Inlet site, with a maximum
of ~200 cells/mL in the 1m sample from June 8.  A few cells were seen on
the same date in Sechelt Inlet samples, but nothing in Nanaimo so far.
No Heterosigma also reported from Jericho, in Vancouver, where as of
June 4 there were still diatoms (mixed Chaetoceros species) dominant, as
in Nanaimo.
