[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.

Bloom Description
Volunteer Reports: The HAB was the full length of my zone, and appeared to extend to properties on either side, but I'm not sure exactly where the boundaries are, so I can't be sure. Fairly still water, warm and humid air, low wind. Widespread HAB along the shore of the Camp
