After a snowy winter, spring is here and time to share our first phytoplankton update of 2020! We collected weekly samples from the Homer Harbor on the weeks the harbor wasn’t frozen over, and what a sight that was! Throughout the winter months Homer Harbor had low numbers of phytoplankton, with a small increase in diatoms taking advantage of the longer days the past few weeks.
