Looks like the dissolved oxygen crashed last week and the Chlorophyll is trending up, but the turbidity is staying low, so let's hope the current brown wave stays reasonable.

I was right.

Chlorophyll is off the charts.

The diurnal swing in D.O. is insane as is the pH swing that causes as the plankton cycle the CO2 in and out of the water.

I haven't seen the BRL in a few days. 

I just came in from an interval sesssion on the IRL in Cocoa/Rockledge and the water looks like Lake Apopka on a bad day. Unreal.

pH goes screaming high during the day when all the CO2 gets pulled from the water and then plummets at night. I've seen carbonate precipitates in the water during the day because of the high pH. That makes light penetration pretty much zero. That is when the water gets that crazy bright milky yellow/brown/green look as the carbonate really scatters the light amoung the various plankton pigments.

I hate to pick on the gardening forum since we have a lot of ornamental landscaping ourselves but:

And the gardening forum crowd are way more responsible with their landscape management than all of our mow-n-go chemlawn St. Augustine commercial landscape companies. (or my neighbors that fertilized their grass immediately after the cold snap and then watered every day for 2 weeks). 
"washed away" and the Aureoumbra lagunensis says thank you.

My canal on sykes creek looks like pea soup. Didn't really clear up at all this fall. I am participating in the Brevard Zoo oyster program. The oysters are growing well despite the water quality. Probaby a feel good thing and a drop in the bucket.

 I was in the Banana yesterday well thankfully not in it. But yea it was disgusting. Rumor has it the crabbers are doing ok but not sure I would eat anything from the toilet. I don't see the water quality improving for a very long time. I sure hope I am wrong.
