Clearing Murky Waters: Red tide video as a mitigation tool
Environmental and Sustainability IndicatorsUsing 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

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 ...

The Pacific Northwest Harmful Algal Blooms Bulletin
Harmful Algae, 2023 A bulletin communicating risk of toxic Pseudo-nitzschia blooms to shellfish harvest along the open coast of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States (the northeast Pacific Ocean spanning Washington and Oregon) is discussed. This Pacific Northwest Harmful Algal Blooms (PNW HAB) Bulletin is designed for shellfish managers with a focus on the ...

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 ...

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Rapid assessment of phytoplankton assemblages using Next Generation Sequencing and Barcode of Life Data System: a widely applicable HAB-ID toolkit for detecting and monitoring biodiversity loss and harmful algal blooms [PDF]
PeerJHarmful algal blooms have important implications for the health, functioning, and services of aquatic ecosystems. Our ability to detect and monitor these events is often challenged by the lack of rapid and cost-effective methods to identify bloom-forming
