Workshop: "Global Solutions to Regional Problems: Collecting Global Expertise to the Problem of Harmful Algal Blooms" at Bowling Green State University, Ohio on April 13-14, 2015

1515671BullerjahnWorkshop：区域问题的全球解决方案：收集有害藻华问题的全球专业知识研讨会的目的是确定了解藻华形成、检测和缓解方面的主要知识差距，并讨论突出当前藻华补救工作的案例研究。由于藻华事件是一个日益全球化的现象，来自中国、欧洲和澳大利亚的蓝藻和有害藻华研究人员将聚集在一起，为世界各地目前的研究和缓解战略提供一个广阔的视角。研讨会的结果将是向同行评审期刊提交一份手稿，总结未来的研究目标和挑战，以及目前CHAB控制的最佳实践。总的来说，研讨会将为未来的研究和补救方案的实施确定优先事项。本项目不资助任何国际参与者。工作坊地点位于分水岭，2014年8月，一场蓝藻、有害藻类爆发事件导致50万居民的市政供水中断。大众媒体广泛报道了这一现象，从而使公众认识到有害藻华的威胁。研讨会的理想定位是通过新闻媒体教育公众关于chab的起因、预防和事件应对，以便受影响地区的居民充分了解情况。研讨会发表的研究结果将通过同行评议的文献广泛传播给科学界，研讨会手稿的草稿将提供给NOAA的工作人员，以帮助他们根据《有害藻华和缺氧研究与控制法》采取战略行动。最后，BGSU的本科生将参加一个研讨会，研讨会的研究结果将推动形成区域和国家蓝藻，有害藻华控制的建议清单。

1515671BullerjahnWorkshop: Global Solutions to Regional Problems: Collecting Global Expertise to the Problem of Harmful Algal BloomsThe objective of the Workshop is to identify the major knowledge gaps toward understanding bloom formation, detection and mitigation, along with discussion of case studies that highlight current bloom remediation efforts. Since bloom events are an increasingly global phenomena, bringing together cyanobacteria, harmful algal bloom researchers from China, Europe and Australia will provide a broad perspective on current research and mitigation strategies employed around the world. The outcome of the Workshop will be a manuscript submitted to a peer-reviewed journal that summarizes future research goals and challenges, along with current best practices for CHAB control. Overall, the Workshop will set priorities for both future research and implementation of remediation protocols. This project will not fund any international participants.The site of the Workshop is located in the watershed in which a cyanobacteria, harmful algal bloom event shut down the municipal water supply to 500,000 residents in August 2014. This phenomenon was widely reported in the popular press, thereby informing the general public to HAB threats. The Workshop is ideally positioned to educate the public through news media on the causes, prevention and event response to CHABs so that residents in affected areas are adequately informed. Published findings of the Workshop will be broadly disseminated to the scientific community through the peer-reviewed literature, and drafts of the Workshop manuscript will be made available to NOAA staff to help inform their strategic actions through the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act. Lastly, undergraduate students at BGSU will participate in a seminar in which Workshop findings drive the formation of a list of recommendations for regional and national cyanobacteria, harmful algal bloom control.
