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
