Mediterranean alien harmful algal blooms: origins and impacts [PDF]

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020
AbstractHarmful algal blooms (HABs) are mostly phytoplankton blooms, which have detrimental environmental and socioeconomic impacts. The Mediterranean Sea due to its enclosed nature is of special concern since it has an enormously rich native biodiversity.

Clearing Murky Waters: Red tide video as a mitigation tool

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators
Using video as a public communication tool to increase scientific and health literacy has grown in popularity. This study created and evaluated a YouTube video about red tide in Florida (caused by the microalga Karenia brevis) as part of an environmental

The Role of Cyano-HAB (Cyanobacteria Harmful Algal Blooms) in the One Health Approach to Global Health

Hydrobiology
Harmful algal bloom events occur in salt, brackish, and fresh water. In bodies of water such as oceans and estuaries, diatoms or dinoflagellates form “tides” that produce toxins associated with seafood poisoning, including paralytic shellfish poisoning ...

Development of Algal Bloom Removal System Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Surface Vehicle

IEEE Access, 2017
Recently, owing to changes in weather conditions, cyanobacterial blooms, also known as harmful algal blooms (HABs), have caused serious damage to the ecosystems of rivers and lakes by producing cyanotoxins.

HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA: EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH.

Euromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2013
A harmful algal bloom (HAB) is defined as a bloom that has deleterious effects on plants, animals or humans. Marine algal toxins are responsible for an array of human illnesses associated with consumption of seafood or exposure to aerosolized toxins ...

Healthcare Provider Confidence and Perceived Barriers to Diagnosing Illness Associated with Harmful Algal Blooms

AJPM Focus
Introduction: Illnesses caused by harmful algal blooms can vary in clinical presentation and severity depending on the types of algae, cyanobacteria, or toxins involved as well as the route and extent of exposure.

Modeling harmful algal blooms in a changing climate [PDF]

Harmful Algae, 2020
This review assesses harmful algal bloom (HAB) modeling in the context of climate change, examining modeling methodologies that are currently being used, approaches for representing climate processes, and time scales of HAB model projections. Statistical models are most commonly used for near-term HAB forecasting and resource management, but ...

Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

Ecography, EarlyView.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Coastal engineering and Harmful Algal Blooms along Alexandria coast, Egypt

Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2014
The coast of Alexandria has been subjected to successive engineering alterations since 1998. Such alterations have affected the topography of the coast as well as the water quality, the phytoplankton productivity and diversity.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...
