Due to winter temperatures and weather conditions, boating activities were temporarily halted during the months of December 2023, January 2024, and February 2024. The safety of the crew as well as the boat are of the utmost concern at NBC. Whether it’s slipping on an icy dock or slipping on the boat decking, we don’t want injuries that can be avoided. Although staff wear appropriate gear during colder months, there is great risk to the life and health of crew if they were to slip and fall into the freezing waters during winter months. Staff have been evaluating conditions on a week-to-week basis and are pleased to announce that Nutrient Sampling was able to be conducted on March 6th. Staff are excited to resume boating activities and we are hopeful that favorable conditions continue throughout March. Below is a table showing the bay sites sampled.
