HAB Reports and Plans

• Scientific Assessment of Marine Harmful Agal Blooms, 2008
• This HABHRCA report describes the nature of HABs in U.S. marine waters and reviews major advances in research over the last decade.
  
  
• Harmful Algal Bloom Management and Response: Assessment and Plan, 2008
• This HABHRCA report describes the HAB problem, Federal actions to predict and respond to HAB events, and presents a plan to enhance these capabilities and reduce the impacts of HABs on humans and the environment.
  
  
• 

  Harmful Algal Bloom Research, Development, Demonstration, and Technology Transfer National Workshop Report, 2008
  This HAB community workshop report focuses on priorities for improving critical infrastructure, for developing and implementing prevention, control, and mitigation strategies, and for improving “rapid” event response capabilities.
  

  
  
• Scientific Assessment of Freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms, 2008

• This HABHRCA report assesses the state of knowledge on Freshwater HABs in the U.S. and sets research priorities to work towards reducing impacts of these events.
