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
Volunteer Reports: Air temperature 74F (feels like 78). Water temperature 73F. Wind at 3mph or less from the southwest. Sunny and calm . The past week has had zero rainfall. We haven’t seen any persistent signs of a HAB in the rest of our 2mile zone, though we have seen some faint streaks intermittently today. We did check the zone to the south in Harris Park, Cayuga and there is a more intense bloom there than anywhere in our zone now.
