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.

Map of HAB event
Bloom Description
North end of the park shoreline seemed to be affected. South end of the park water was clear and free from the HAB. HAB looked to extend about 6 feet from the affected shoreline. Did note one dead fish in the water. Skies were clear with some scattered clouds. Temperature was warm but not too hot. I believe about 75F.
