SoundHAB: Heterosigma in Nanaimo Departure Bay

Thu Jun 14 20:50:58 EDT 2012

We are starting to see Heterosigma in Departure Bay, Nanaimo; yesterday's 1m sample had 400 cells/mL, 5m and 10m were ~100 cells/mL.  This is a bit earlier than usual, so I would suggest you may see it soon south of the border.
