October 11, 2019 -Red Tides, Unusual Plankton Blooms, and Recent Changes in the Oceanography of the Gulf of Maine
Red Tides, Unusual Plankton Blooms, and Recent Changes in the Oceanography of the Gulf of Maine
I'll be discussing about the basic oceanography of the Gulf of Maine, in relation to annually-recurrent Red Tides (blooms of Alexandrium catanella, a dinoflagellate that causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning, or PSP). I will review our two decades of research into the matter and share some ideas about why these blooms occur and why they vary in intensity among years, placing such explanations in the context of the basic oceanography of the Gulf of Maine -- which has been changing in the last 8-10 years in ways that I will try to describe.
