Harmful Algal Blooms Monitoring

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are a concern around the world; from the oceans to our rivers, lakes and ponds. HABs have been reported in many countries around the globe, and with global warming and human activity into the marine environment, their occurrence may be on the rise. HABs are an international concern because they affect not only the health of people and marine ecosystems, but also the "health" of local and regional economies.
