my parents said the muck sucking is helping(cocoa beach canals), but idk the short term stirring of the silty shit around seems really bad.......hopefully the oyster growing projects take off, wish they could do one as well with seagrass.....want a nice lawn, buy and care for double yardage in seagrass LOL

Oxygen saturation has been going over 150% in the afternoons on these super sunny calm days in the Banana. This type of weather can initiate collapse if it makes the bloom use up the remainder of the available nitrogen in the water column.

...

sorry for my ignorance, but collapse as in good(bloom collapse) or collapse as in bad(the river collapse)?

Sudden bloom collapse is bad. It sucks up all the oxygen if the biomass of plankton in the water column is high enough.

 Remember back when we though 40 or 50 ug/L chlr A was a "big bloom".

Lagoon update for last month just came out,

Banana is holding strong at 200 - 250 ug/L chlr A (2-28 through 3-30).

That's an improvement from figure 4, above,

and,

I feel a little ill.
