Description:Since 1999, the Great Bay Coast Watch (GBCW) has been monitoring New Hampshire coastal waters for the presence of toxic phytoplankton cells. If present in large numbers, these cells can create the harmful algal blooms known as "red tides." To improve the accuracy and utility of volunteer observations, GBCW compiled photographs of cells commonly observed in the Gulf of Maine, including the target toxic cell species, creating identification key sheets used by phytoplankton monitors in the field to aid in phytoplankton species identification. The keys focus on two major types of phytoplankton cells: diatoms and dinoflagellates​. This manual contains the identification key sheets and information to assist volunteers in identifying the phytoplankton.
