SoundHAB: Dinophysis observations over last month

[Vera Trainer]

Hi everyone,
You have probably heard that there was a DSP closure in Sequim Bay that 
resulted in the illness of 3 people and a recall of ~2000 lb of 
shellfish.  The Washington State Department of Health (WDOH) would like 
to sample more widely and you can help.

If you have noticed any elevated numbers of Dinophysis in the last few 
weeks or a change in abundance, please email Vera Trainer at 
Vera.L.Trainer at noaa.gov
The WDOH will likely want to sample shellfish in any areas with elevated 
Dinophysis counts.

For more information (Seattle Times, August 12, 2011)

Thanks for your help and have a good weekend, Vera
