Louisiana: Lac des Allemands and Bayou Fortier have caught up with Lake Fields in the last twenty-four hours in terms of the extreme high concentrations developing in these water bodies over the last week. In this latest upload from the NCCOS dated August 21, taken at wind speed 11.5 mph, shows the hot spots 4 to 5 million cells now filling these water bodies from shore to shore. Lakes Verret and Palourde lakewide HABs also high concentration, 800 to 900 thousand cells per 100 ml. Check out the latest satellite image from NCCOS here.
Lake Erie west basin
The latest satellite image of Lake Erie West basin was captured August 21 at wind speed, 16.1 mph, a clear image of the lakewide HAB in the west basin. The extent of the bloom has increased since the last fully clear image taken a week prior. The current image shows the HAB extends north of the international border.
HAB concentration is high, hot spots in Maumee Bay at Toledo 1 to 2 million cells, Maumee Bay State Park presents 1 to 3 million cells up to an including Cedar Point. Magee Marsh Wildlife Area another hot spot up to 2 million along the shoreline. The majority of the bloom is now running at extreme high concentration above a million cells per 100 ml. Sandusky Bay HAB is lakewide in the water west of OH-269 at around 700 thousand cells per 100 ml, the bluegreen occupying the water just east of OH-269 at the same concentration.
