WT HAB Tracker from the satellite monitoring program of National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)
The latest image of Lake Pontchartrain and the southeast water bodies is dated Oct 16, a clear image captured at fantastically high wind speed of 24.2 mph. Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas display no HAB activity, however these large water bodies are subject to the high wind submerging any bloom mats from our view. Bayou Fortier is displaying a lakewide HAB at 700 thousand cells per ml. Lac des Allemands retains dispersed open water HABs at 700 thousand cells per ml. Lakes Verret and Palourde HABs remain lakewide at the high concentration 700 thousand cells per ml. See the latest satellite image of southeast LA water bodies, here.
