Bloom Description

Volunteer Reports: I also observed a bloom at the boat launch area and along the inlet under the bridge. Outside of the marina, the water was rougher, saw no blooms, but it seemed to continue in the quieter water at the swimming beach area. A light HAB was all along the swimming beach at Taughannock Falls SP. My pictures don't show it well because it was fairly thin and a motorboat wake stirred up the water and scattered it before I could take the photo of the larger area.
