Legend

Bloom Density - Describes the intensity of the phytoplankton presence
1a - Little or no phytoplankton present - clear water
1b – Little or no phytoplankton present – brown or turbid water
1c – Little or no phytoplankton present – other material present
1d – Little or no phytoplankton present – recreation not impaired
2 – Phytoplankton present – less than bloom levels
3 – Phytoplankton bloom in progress
