For all my Cyanobacteria people, Happy #phycologyfriday ! #cyanobacteria #harmfulalgae #harmfulalgalbloom #cyanoHAB #microcystin #sphaerospermopsis #nostocales

We’re hiring an #EcologicalModeler to join our team at @NOAACoastalSci in the #HarmfulAlgalBloom forecasting branch. #ApplyHere : cssinc.isolvedhire.com/jobs/1199591

NCCOS and partners recently completed NOAA’s first #HarmfulAlgalBloom cyst sampling cruise in the Gulf of Alaska. Data from this cruise will help inform an annual forecast to better inform Kodiak communities on locations and severity of HABs. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/first-gul…

NOAA’s first 2024 Lake Erie HAB Early Season Projection predicts that #LakeErie will experience a moderate to larger than moderate #HarmfulAlgalBloom this summer, with models indicating a severity between 4.5 and 7.5. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/noaa-pred…

Just in: NOAA is forecasting a smaller-than-average #HarmfulAlgalBloom for western #LakeErie this summer. This year’s bloom is expected to measure 3, with a potential range of 2-4.5 on the severity index — whereas last year’s bloom was measured at a 6.8. noaa.gov/news-release/s…

Great talk Evie!

New tech on ship’s allow scientists to monitor and alert for a #HarmfulAlgalBloom in near real time! #IFCB #AMSS2023

Are you spending #MemorialDay 🇺🇸 at one of our many natural waters? Remember to be on the lookout for (and stay away from) water that looks scummy or like pea soup or spilled paint. Certain algae in the water could be a #HarmfulAlgalBloom and make you sick 🤢! (1/2)

NOAA is proud to announce $20.1M in funding for #HarmfulAlgalBloom and #Hypoxia research projects & monitoring activities throughout US coastal & Great Lakes waters. Projects will support toxin measurement in seafood & enhance HAB monitoring and response. noaa.gov/news-release/n…

The objective of the US HAB-CTI is to fund extramural proof of concept, innovative #HarmfulAlgalBloom control tools and technology projects to assess their real-world feasibility. Register for the informational webinar to learn about the proposal process➡️bit.ly/3XieoVf

Have you spotted water like this in your favorite #AZ lake or stream?

Scummy, discolored water is a sign of algae and a potential #harmfulalgalbloom that could make you, your kids and your pets sick!

New #FundingOpportunity ! We are seeking proposals for research to support and to provide more accurate assessments of the social, cultural and economic impacts of #HarmfulAlgalBloom events at local, state, regional and national scales. Learn more: coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/noaa-anno…

The NCCOS #HarmfulAlgalBloom Event Response program has awarded $12,550 to support research to investigate the potential links between ongoing #MarineMammal strandings occurring off of Southern California and a suspected offshore Pseudo-nitzschia bloom. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/marine-ma…

An automated #microscope (called the #ImagingFlowCytobot ) detected these #toxic #algae off coastal #Alaska at 100x the level that causes paralysis. Scientists say this is just the beginning of an unprecedented #HarmfulAlgalBloom or #HAB : go.whoi.edu/oceanus-alaska…

The Lake Erie #HarmfulAlgalBloom forecast has been updated, and we now expect a bloom with a severity index of 4.5 - 5.5. The bloom was established by July 4th, which is the second earliest bloom start (following 2018) since 2002.

Lake Erie's summer #HarmfulAlgalBloom season has come to an end, and NOAA and partners have issued the final bulletin. The 2023 western #LakeErie cyanobacterial bloom had a severity index of 5.3, which is moderately severe, and less intense than 2022. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/2023-lake…
