IMET faculty member, Dr. Allen Place, appeared on CBS Baltimore to discuss the mahogany tides which have been appearing in Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
So why a bloom now?
“Water temperature is a little bit up, relative to what they usually are, and there’s always sufficient nutrients in the bay for it to bloom,” Dr. Place says.
