Bloom Chemistry
[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
No sample collected, located within the same zone as Cayuga Marina but ~1 mile south. Volunteer reported: It’s 61F and sunny this morning with a gentle breeze. We had .18” of rain here overnight and before that we had .69” four days ago. This part of our zone is not a priority site but we will try to visit the Cayuga Marina at the north end of our two mile zone to check for any bloom there.
