“…Narragansett Bay has seasonal blooms of diatoms that have been monitored through weekly cell counts for over 50 y at a long-term time-series station (41,42). Five eukaryotic surface metatranscriptome samples were taken from surface seawater collected during May and June of 2012 at the time-series site, yielding over 358 million 100-bp, paired-end cDNA reads from the field [sample 1 (S1)-S5] (SI Appendix, Table 1).…”

“…Similarly, Borkman & Smayda (1998) documented a significant increase in Secchi-disk depth in Narragansett Bay from 1972 to 1996 associated with reduced suspended solids due to improved wastewater treatment. A long-term decline in chlorophyll has also been observed in nearby Narragansett Bay (Li & Smayda 1998, Fulweiler et al 2007.Even though nutrient levels were usually lower in the inner harbor of New Bedford than at the sewage outfall, chl a levels at Stn 8 were generally the highest of any of our stations. We suspect that the reason for this is physical.…”

“…The timing of the annual-cycle of phytoplankton has shifted from a prolonged, bay-wide, large winter-spring bloom to a less consistent, less intense, shorter winter bloom with short intense blooms in the spring, summer, or fall (Oviatt 2004, Nixon et al 2009). Data show that at least since the 1970s, the biomass of phytoplankton has decreased significantly in Narragansett Bay (Li and Smayda 1998, Smayda 1998, Nixon et al 2009. It has been hypothesized that these changes have been induced by climate change, specifically warming waters (Keller et al 1999;Oviatt et al 2003) and an increase in cloudy days (Nixon et al 2009).…”
