ABSTRACT

The report describes field and laboratory work proposed and completed during this project and covers the period 1 August 1998 - 31 January 2003. This period overlaps with our previous Saltonstall-Kennedy project "Domoic acid, diatoms, and the shellfish industry in western Washington" that covered the period 1 February 1996 - 31 July 1999. Here we include information on the field guide to local phytoplankton and additional information on coastal and Puget Sound/Hood Canal monitoring.
