Experimental Harmful Algal Bloom Forecast Bulletin For Lake Erie
– ScienceDaily Predicting harmful algal blooms, or HABs, in the
Great Lakes is now a reality as NOAA announces an experimental
HAB forecast system in Lake Erie. HABs produce toxins that may
pose a significant risk to human and animal health through water
recreation and may form scum that are unsightly and odorous to
beach visitors, impacting the coastal economy. Forecasts
depicting current and future locations of blooms, as well as
intensity, will alert scientists and managers to possible
threats to the Great Lakes beaches and assist in mitigation
efforts. via Experimental Harmful Algal Bloom Forecast Bulletin
