Harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a broad suite of phytoplankton, macroalgae, and cyanobacteria that can have significant impacts on ecological resources, human health, and coastal economies. The specific impacts of HABs occur on multiple scales and will vary based on species, location, time of year, and proximity to key resources. Some blooms can disrupt entire ecological communities simply due to their accumulated biomass or reduction in light penetration. Others produce toxins that can cause a variety of human poisoning syndromes through either direct exposure to the organism’s toxins or through the consumption of contaminated fish or shellfish (Glibert et al., 2005). Risk of human exposure can prevent the harvest of commercial, subsistence and recreational fisheries, close popular beaches, or prevent the use of community drinking water supplies that might be contaminated.
