Lake
Okeechobee Conditions Report January 29, 2008:
According
to the USACE web site,
Monthly
phytoplankton monitoring was performed on January 23rd. Six of
the 9 monitoring stations had sufficient water to sample and no algal blooms
were observed at any of these stations. Average secchi
depth declined to 0.29 m from 0.40 m in December, and average SD:TD declined to 0.23 from 0.30
in December. A SD:TD
ratio < 0.5 generally is not conducive to SAV
growth. These light conditions are normal for this time of year.
