Andrea Jaegge of the USGS California Water Science Center asked us to share the information below for those working on Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).
Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract for the HABs session at the upcoming 2023 Coastal & Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) Conference.
27th Biennial CERF Conference
Resilience & Recovery
Portland, Oregon, USA
12 –16 November 2023
CERF 2023 Call for Abstracts
Abstract Deadline: 20 May 2023
CERF 2023 Session:
Advances in harmful algal bloom (HAB) research across the freshwater to marine continuum
Keith Bouma-Gregson, U.S. Geological Survey; Andrea Jaegge, U.S. Geological Survey; Beth Stauffer, University of Louisiana at Lafayette; Hans Paerl, University of North Carolina
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a threat to human and ecosystem health across the freshwater to coastal continuum worldwide. Estuaries are particularly prone to HAB impacts from delivery, or in situ growth, of both freshwater and marine taxa. With continued anthropogenic pressure and climate change, HAB impacts are expected to increase. Resilience and recovery of impacted ecosystems can only occur through better understanding of HAB impacts on: ecosystem function and health; environmental drivers supporting occurrences and toxin production; and successful mitigation and management strategies. This session welcomes novel advances in HAB research and management across the freshwater to marine continuum.
