Algal Community Composition within the Lower Norwalk River
Harmful algal blooms (HABs), fish kills, and shellfish contamination are increasingly affecting coastal estuaries like the Norwalk River. Understanding the microscopic algae responsible for these events is essential for protecting public health, local economies, and marine ecosystems. As the environmental conditions of estuaries continue to change from nutrient enrichment, warming temperatures...
