Seems the darkness from the smoke caused the nettles to stay at the surface most of the day. Was so calm you could see fuscescens bells 'breaching'. No coastal wind due to smoke in high atmosphere.

Many specimens around today, stuck near surface. Almost all males. Smoke and ash falling on water from the fires. Apocalyptic.

Second mola just to the right too.

Anybody recognize this pine? Knobcone?

Another shot couple days later from the same 2017 bloom

Immature nettles were around today, developed stripes but no gonad development. Likely ran out of food or blown inshore early.
