  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;An exceptional red tide in San Francisco Bay was observed on 8 September 2004. The red tide had chlorophyll concentrations approaching 200 mg/m&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Figure 1) in red/purple surface streaks containing high abundances of the dinoflagellate&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Akashiwo sanguinea.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Red tides and harmful algal blooms (HABs) are common features of coastal ecosystems, and their growing frequency is a suspected outcome of coastal eutrophication.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the authors have never observed a dinoflagellate bloom of this scale during 28 years of sampling in the nutrient-rich San Francisco Bay. Phytoplankton biomass along this transect is typically &amp;lt;5mg Chla/m&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;, and has never exceeded 21 mg Chla/m&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;during summer-autumn.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
