• A water sample was taken on 10/07/2022, from the shore of an impoundment in the Pine Swamp cluster of waterbodies, using a 10µ dip net to enrich for microbes. Air temp. 70°F. (This water sample was taken in the midst of a bloom of Dinobryon... very few green life forms were observed in this overwhelmingly Dinobryon- filled sample.)
