Notes:


I want to start with phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are an important part of the community. They form the base of the food chain. In the south bay, there are often large blooms of phytoplankton during the spring and those are important to higher trophic levels. At the suggestion of the NOAA panel, one of the things that we did was to look at changes in phytoplankton biomass during the spring bloom.
