Fall is here, the trees have on their golden cloaks and frosting mornings are becoming common throughout the bay. We are also nearing the end of the season for KBNERR Weekly Phytoplankton Updates as temperatures drop and days become shorter. For this week we can share that we saw a variety of diatoms in Homer Harbor and last week phytoplankton in Seldovia Harbor were sparse.
Additional information, including qualitative analysis of phytoplankton data, is available in the Phytoplankton Update for Sept 17th – Sept 30th.
