Description:Sea surface temperature (SST) in the Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem was cooler in 2007 as compared to the trend in recent years, though SST varied by subregions within the ecosystem. Spring bloom production was well above average; however, summer productivity and the fall bloom were only at average levels. Zooplankton biomass began the year at below average levels, but by summer and fall began to exceed recent trends, perhaps reflecting the added productivity in the system resulting from the robust spring bloom earlier in the year.
