1 IOOS Application to Harmful Algal Blooms and Ecosystem Health Monitoring Josh Kohut Rutgers University, Institute of Marine & Coastal Science Bob Connell NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection Water Monitoring and Standards

2 Increasing Occurrence of Harmful Algal Blooms Coastal states are concerned about the increasing occurrence of toxic algal blooms. Shellfish producing states are required to monitor for the presence of harmful algal blooms.

3 Traditional Phytoplankton Monitoring Fixed station network 16 samples every 2 weeks Vessel-based sampling Laboratory analysis for toxic species

4 NJDEP Mild Bloom Phytoplankton Monitoring in the Age of IOOS Aircraft Remote Sensing Thousands of measurements each day Near-daily flights by piggybacking on coastal surveillance flights State-wide coverage in one day ID’s bloom locations to target vessel sampling & algal species ID by microscopy.

5 Autonomous Platforms: Dissolved Oxygen Aanderra Optode Oxygen Concentration NJDEP EPA Rutgers MACOORA

6 Monitoring Water Quality Along the New Jersey Coast Shallow Water Pilot Deployment (<10m) Bob Connell, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Josh Kohut and Mike Kennish, Rutgers University August 20, 2009 – September 7, 2009 20 days 316 km flown 5,100 water column profiles. Hydrography Temperature Salinity Density Water Quality – Dissolved Oxygen Concentration % Saturation

7 Nearshore Ocean Ecosystem Assessment Project Collaboration between USEPA, NJDEP and Rutgers University Developing methods to assess the health of the benthic community. IOOS gliders will provide detailed water quality profiles for dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, temperature, salinity and turbidity to better understand factors impacting benthic diversity.
