Bloom Description

This bloom was observed throughout all the shoreline near Howland Point and around Frontenac Island extending to the middle of the lake. It wasn't very present in the mornings. It probably was the worst the observing volunteers had seen in 5 years. Fortunately it resolved by the third day which was the same hot temperature and weather as the other two days
