Inner Harbor Algal Bloom

This week our Inner Harbor National Aquarium sites saw algal blooms with a subsequent die-off, lowered dissolved oxygen and then a returning algal bloom.

We have a mobile friendly page where you can view current water quality conditions as text or gauges:

Monie Bay Site Real-time Data

The Monie Bay site on MD's Eastern Shore is posting real-time data. The site is part of the Chesapeake Bay-MD National Estuarine Research Reserve System. More on CBNERR and Monie Bay data.

Estuaries are dynamic places. Salinity around Maryland, like our monitoring site in the Wicomico River, is returning to normal after the heavy rainfalls from the past year have ceased.
