SoundHAB: Pseudo-nitzschia in E. Sound, any Heterosigma in Puget Sound?

[Vera Trainer]

Hello everyone,
Pseudo-nitzschia are at bloom concentrations in East Sound as per Nancy 
Alboucq and Margot Shaw (thanks to them!).  Nicky Haigh continues to 
observe Heterosigma in the Strait of Georgia, most recently near Nanaimo 
(her recent message below as a reminder).  Is anyone seeing Heterosigma 
in Puget Sound?

Thanks to all for your continued sampling and communications.  Vera
