What caused the algae?
There saying a growth from warmer water temps. Id say the area is under stress from many levels. The sound is shallow waters so water temps are higher, the De sal unit pumps warm water back into the sound, i cant imagine that would help, the grain spill maybe was also a small contributor plus what other chemicals get dumped by the navy and the commercial industry scattered along the banks.
For me I'm curious to know what feeds the snapper? When reports of penguins that have died due to starvation, could the feed for the snapper be also running a little low? We have huge numbers spawning and their has been an obvious increase in demersal fish over the last few years, could a lack of food be also partially to blame
