Ocean Testing For 'Blooms' On Tomorrow

SWAINTON - An ocean monitoring program to determine nutrient levels at various points along the Jersey Cape coast will begin tomorrow, the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority reported at its regular meeting this week. "The Cape May County Department of Health has informed us that it will conduct the sampling and analyses at no cost to the authority," MUA Executive Director George Marinakis said. "WE ARE chartering a boat for use by health department personnel who are conducting the sampling." The MUA offered to conduct the sampling in an ef- > fort to compile data for the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which are conducting a joint study this summer in an effort to determine the causes behind recent algae blooms, or green tides, that plagued some seashore resorts during the 1984 and 1985 summer seasons. MARINAKIS SAID the county Health Department has scheduled one sampling in May and June and two each in July, August and September. The NJDEP and USEPA joint study is a result of a _ campaign launched by the MUA in an. effort to uncover the causes of the algae blooms, which discolor the ocean water and cause a foul smell as the algae die off The USEPA will continue to conduct nearshore water sampling for bacteria levels and dissolved oxygen. The NJDEP will conduct a survey to determine nutrient loadings from a wastewater treatment plant outfall and a nearby inlet "IN THE tests being con- ~ ducted by the Health Department," Marinakis said, "eight samples will be collected in the vicinity of lach'of the Ocean City. Seven Mile Beach/Middle and Wildwood/Lower Region ocean outfalls." He siid two samples will be taken above the diffuser of the outfalls, one from 500 . yards out in each of the four compass directions. -■ and a sample from one mile north and one mile south of the diffuser "Three samples will also be taken from the Cape May outfall, which services our Cape May Region wastewater treatment plant," Marinakis said. "ONE SAMPLE will be taken at the point of discharge. and one will be taken at 500 yards up- — gradient and one at 500 yards down-gradient from the discharge." Field measurements will be taken, he said, to determine the pH level, temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen content. '"Laboratory analyses will be made to determine the levels of ammonia, nitrates, phosphates. ■I suspended solids and fecal

coliform in the samples," Marinakis said. "ENOUGH SAMPLE# will be taken to allow the NJDEP to perform total organic carbon and phytopiankton analyses for its part in the study of algae blooms." MUA Chairman William F.X. Band had petitioned both the NJDEP and the USEPA to conduct a study of the causes of algae blooms and had also asked all state and federal N.J. legislators to support such a study. "I think the chairman's letter played a significant role in spurring serious interest in this problem," Marinakis said. IN A REPORT entitled ' 'Summary of Phytopiankton Blooms and Related Events in New Jersey Coastal Waters, Summer of 1985," published by the NJDEP. the agency reported that by the fourth week of July of last year, the "brilliant green water" of an algae bloom was "most apparent in Ocean City from 20th Street to the south end, while it was also seen at points > southward to Hereford Inlet." By Aug 14, however, it was "much more concentrated from the north end of Ocean City near 9th Street, around the Great Egg Inlet and all along Absecon Island to Absecon Inlet." ACCORDING TO the report, these greentides had formerly commonly occurred in only the Raritan Bay and adjacent areas Last year, however, "it became apparent everywhere from Sandy Hook to Cape May County, with a similar condition pervading the intracoastal area from Great Bay to upper Barnegat Bay " In its report, the DEP speculated that "oceanographic and meteorological conditions may serve in transporting potential bloom species from offshore; this is a possibility in the case of the green tide, which also occurred in adjacent regions such as Long Island." IT ALSO pointed out that inlets tend to bring nutrients to the ocean from marshes and estuaries such as the Great BayMullica River and Great Egg Harbor systems. "The coastline from Atlantic City to Ocean City curves inshore to the southwest forming a large, relatively sheltered cove." the report explained. "This geographical feature, associated with onshore winds, may serve to hold warm water along the shore, resulting in stimulation of phytoflagellate growth."
