Hello Everyone,
This week, apart from Jakolof, Kachemak Bay phytoplankton were sparse at all locations sampled. As mentioned last week low phytoplankton abundances during this time of year is a pattern we have observed in past years. We will continue to collect weekly phytoplankton samples but are switching to bi-weekly email updates for the remainder of the season, which means the next update will be emailed out on September 24th.
As always, reach out with any questions.
