CSCOR Harmful Algal Bloom Event Response - Examples
Since partnering with the National Office for Marine Biotoxins and Harmful Algal Blooms in 2003, the CSCOR Event Response Program has responded to over 10 HAB events impacting states along the East, Gulf and West Coasts . These responses have addressed a wide range of state and federal management and scientific needs-from assessing human health risks, identifying causes of marine mammal mortalities, offering training opportunities for managers, to establishing baseline conditions for new or re-emerging HABs.
