| Report the outcome of a monitoring programme: | Yes (Maryland Phytoplankton Monitoring Program) | |
| Event occurred before in this location: | Yes (Pseudo-nitzschia blooms have occurred most years in the Chesapeake Bay since 2000, yet low levels of domoic acid toxicity have been associated to date. Offshore monitoring started 2 years ago. 2017 was the first year we tried to count large vs small cells offshore.) | |
