Bloom Description
Volunteer reported: HAB is found in my zone as well as the zone to the north. Flat calm this morning, HAB started to develop early. HAB extends off shore for at least 500 feet, but thins out as it gets further from shore. It probably covers almost a mile of shore line north and south of Ellis Point.
