SoundHAB: Coccolithophore bloom through out most of Hood Canal

[Teri King]

The bloom of E. huxleyi that began on June 24, 2019 in Quilcene Bay,
quickly moved south to Dabob Bay and has now moved throughout lower Hood
Canal into Lynch Cove.  Samples were taken by Brian Bill (NOAA NWFSC) and
Nancy Nguyen (Washington Sea Grant) as part of the SoundToxins program.
Scanning electron microscope images by Brian Bill confirm Emiliania
huxleyi.  I've attached photos of the cells and the NASA Earth Observatory
satellite images.

We are keeping the community updated on this bloom via a public Facebook
page - Bivalves for Clean Water.

Best,

Teri
