According
to the USACE web site,
Phytoplankton
bloom monitoring was conducted on December 26th. Six out of 9
monitoring stations had sufficient water for sampling. No algal blooms were
observed with the exception of light bloom formation at the Pahokee
Marina. No algal toxins were detected. Chlorophyll and total P data
from this trip are not yet available.
Monthly
SAV monitoring is being conducted this week.
Slight reductions in the density of the macroalga Chara were reported at the south end of the
lake on Monday despite continued good to excellent water clarity (secchi depths 50-100% of total depths). No vascular SAV species were encountered.
