On December 6, 2022 the University of Washington Puget Sound Institute hosted a workshop on Phytoplankton & Primary Production. This was a smaller, technical discussion about opportunities for coupled monitoring and modeling to address gaps in the science of primary production. This included some of the questions regarding inter-annual changes in seasonality and community structure in phytoplankton productivity, including the role of salinity gradient changes with climate change drivers. Dr. Sophia Johannesen with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Dr. Maycira Costa with the University of Victoria, and Dr. Brian Hunt with the University of British Columbia shared insights from their research.
