Abstract:

The Southeast Phytoplankton Monitoring Network monitors harmful algae blossoms in ocean water. Recently student volunteers from First Flight High School in Kill Devil Hills, who were monitoring phytoplankton at an open-ocean site in Duck, discovered a species of harmful algae. Green discusses the monitoring network and the students' findings.
