Phytoplankton and Climate Change in the Wyre estuary

by Barry Kaye (Lancashire MCS)

Plankton in the Wyre Estuary 2023-2025

Above: Graph showing the variability in plankton numbers in the Wyre Estuary.

We have been monitoring the Plankton in the Wyre Estuary every fortnight since 2022, allowing us to pick out correlations between meteorological effects and plankton densities. The dramatic changes in weather patterns reported by our local weather station in Bradford suggest that there may be a corresponding discontinuity in plankton populations around the year 2000.

I regret that my laptop is not able to manage Zoom as well as my presentation, so there will not be an online option for this talk.

Meeting at Lancaster Maritime Museum on Wednesday 12th November at 19:30
