Title: Large Algae Bloom off the NJ Coast
Post by: Pfishingruven on July 11, 2014, 10:44:53 PM

In addition to cold water temperatures from upwelling, algae has also been stirred up and is in full bloom off of a majority of the coast. This algae is not hazardous to health, however, it will likely present an oxygen depletion issue in days to come.
