• But arriving at the beach to find water that’s green, red or brown, and possibly foul-smelling, can instantly spoil the party.
• I’ve conducted research into early detection of harmful algal blooms, or HABs, which are an increasing threat to humans, animals and the environment.
• Toxins produced during these blooms have been implicated in human and animal illnesses in at least 43 states.

Tiny organisms, big impacts

• Algae and cyanobacteria – often called blue-green algae – are simple, plantlike organisms that live in water.
• They can grow out of control, or “bloom,” especially when the water is warm and slow moving.
• Climate change is making water bodies warmer, increasing the risk of HABs.
• The other major factor that drives blooms is high levels of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, which fertilize algae.

An array of toxins

• As with many environmental exposures, children and older people may be especially sensitive to HAB toxins.
• People who regularly consume seafood caught in HAB-prone areas are also at risk of long-term health effects from potentially frequent, low-level exposures to HAB toxins.

Recognizing and responding to HABs

• If you are unsure whether a bloom is harmful or not, contact your local health department or environmental agency for guidance.
• If you see signs of a bloom, stay out of the water and keep your pets out of the water.
• It’s important to be aware that cooking contaminated seafood or boiling contaminated water does not destroy the toxins.

Be informed

• The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides resources and recommendations related to HABs and ways to stay safe.
• Pet owners should also learn how to protect their dogs from HABs.
• Many states conduct HAB monitoring programs, especially in areas that are known to be vulnerable to blooms, such as western Lake Erie.

What’s being done about HABs?

• Many efforts are underway to prevent, control and mitigate HABs and provide early warnings to water system managers and health officials.
• One example in the U.S. is the
  Cyanobacteria Assessment Network, or CyAN, a collaborative effort across several government agencies to develop an early warning indicator system to detect algal blooms in freshwater systems.
• At the global scale, the Harmful Algal Information System will eventually include harmful algal events and information from harmful algae monitoring and management systems worldwide.
