Driving past Tramp Harbor this afternoon I noticed a red/ orange streak on the surface. When seen in the net it looks like rotting green algae.  Being curious, I collected a surface sample - there is a bloom of Pleurosigma , in .01 ml sample I counted 779, the next most common was Ceratium fusus

The I went over to QMH. There are many dead jelly fish along the shore line.
Surface water has a bloom of Akashowo sanguinea, net tow also bloom of Akashowo sanguinea, Ceratium fusus is common, 
A north eind has been blowing for several days and that influences the water at Tramp Harbor and QMH.

Mussels from 9/10 still have 1336 Alex toxin!
