18th Biennial Conference of the Estuarine Research Federation. SYM-01 Use of Observing Systems for Understanding, Monitoring and Predicting Harmful Algal Blooms and Hypoxia.

Norfolk, VA

October, 16-21-2005

Conveners: Quay Dortch, David Scheurer, Kenric Osgood, Marc Suddleson and Sue Banahan

Oral and poster presentations will focus on how data obtained from observing systems currently in use, along with complimentary methodologies such as new detection methods for toxins and harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, models or regional ecosystem studies, are leading to better understanding of HABs and hypoxia and informing management decisions. Presentations in this session will also describe the role and the contributions to management of citizen monitoring groups.
