CSCOR Facilitates Technology Transfer and Education at U.S. HAB Symposium

The Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) is sponsoring the Fourth U.S. Symposium on Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) to be held in Woods Hole, MA from October 29 through November 1, 2007. As the largest national HAB conference, the meeting is a forum for scientific exchange and technical communication on all aspects of HAB research. CSCOR is also providing travel support for students, post-docs, and state managers to attend the symposium; the involvement of managers and young scientists is important to strengthen the Nation’s ability to understand and respond to HAB events.

Topics for oral and poster presentations at this year’s meeting include:

  • bloom ecology and dynamics,
  • toxins and toxin detection,
  • fisheries and food webs,
  • communication, outreach and education,
  • human health, and
  • emerging technologies.

CSCOR and the Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET) are also planning an evening discussion session to identify and discuss barriers to the use and transfer of HAB technologies. The symposium is being organized by the National Office for HABs at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Visit the symposium website.
