[1] Genera - plural of genus, a category of classification in biology that ranks between the family level and the species level. Because there are many different species of bacteria that are difficult to distinguish, it is more useful to classify bacteria by genus rather than species.

Map of HAB event
Bloom Description
Volunteer reported: 80F and flat calm, no recent rain. This seems like a sort of continuous HAB that's been coming and going over the past week. Wind breaks it up, but it reforms as soon as the wind drops. The longer the water stays calm, the thicker the bloom.
