Special Event – Understanding Harmful Algal Blooms: Causes, Impacts, and Ongoing Research
We’d like to thank Dr. Mindy Richlen from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for a Zoom presentation on Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) which was both informative and entertaining. Present in both fresh and ocean waters, different species of HABs create toxins which can cause symptoms in humans ranging from tingling and numbness and GI disorders to severe illness. They can also threaten the entire food chain including the bivalves, fish and birds and other animals that ingest them. Here on Cape Cod our ponds and coastlines are affected by HABs. Dr. Richlen provided a link to a series of short videos produced by WHOI which help explain our local pond issues and possible solutions.
