[EYES OVER PUGET SOUND]

Ecology’s Marine News: “

Surface condition report from September 16, 2014 is now available. To download go to:

What you will find:
Sunshine and warmth continue into September. Upwelling is higher, yet low Fraser River flow reduces the likelihood of low-oxygen water moving into Puget Sound. Dissolved oxygen remains relatively high in Hood Canal and is lower elsewhere. Satellites show also relatively warm water in the Strait of Georgia and Whidbey Basin and an extensive offshore bloom. As summer ends, water temperatures remain also high in South Sound were red-brown plankton blooms and large smacks of jellyfish adorn the water surface. Explore what frequent blooms in smaller bays can tell us.
