Caption

A map showing impacts of the 2015 West Coast toxic algal bloom. Orange mammal symbols were detected with domoic acid, while those colored red also showed symptoms of poisoning. The numbers indicate how many mammals were affected. Shaded and hatched regions show closures for anchovy fisheries, offshore Dungeness and rock crab fishing, and shellfish harvesting.
