Certainly. It's estimated that the Grand has the potential to create a plume that runs about 12 kilometres along the shoreline. Depending on which way the wind is blowing and how the drift is going along the shoreline, it can go east or west, but it's a fairly extensive plume. It's really in the nearshore area. Once it's into the deep water, the weeds don't necessarily have the sunshine and the warmth to proliferate. It's really in that nearshore zone. The high weed growth is a result of the high nutrient levels in that plume.
