"What is that Brown Scum on the Water: Plankton Research in Salem Harbor"
Wednesday, March 25, 7:00 - 8:30pm
Free and Open to the Public. Jointly sponsored by Salem Sound Coastwatch and the Abbot Public Library in Marblehead, MA.
Presenter: Dr. Brad Hubeny, Salem State University Geological Sciences and Barbara Warren, SSCW Executive Director
Every summer Salem Sound Coastwatch gets calls about the brown scum on the water. Calls come from all over Salem Sound - Marblehead, Salem, Beverly, and Danvers. Often people call to report sewerage leaks. They warn people not to swim in the water.
Dr. Brad Hubeny, Salem State University Geological Sciences, and Barbara Warren, SSCW Executive Director, have joined forces since 2010 to study the water quality in Salem Sound. From 2012 – 2014, they concentrated on Salem Harbor to understand what was making the water cloudy. Was it stormwater runoff from the land? Or the boat moorings stirring up the mud? From the isotope analysis, Brad's specialty, it was discovered that the harbor samples were in the range typical of marine algae, not freshwater. A peer-reviewed journal article documents these findings.
The study's result that phytoplankton blooms were increasing organic particulate matter in the water led to the current investigation. What kind of phytoplankton is it? What is causing the plankton blooms? Do we have a problem of nutrient loading? You will be the first to hear about this recent investigation when Brad and Barbara share the study and its findings Wednesday evening, March 25, at the Abbot Library.
