When waters bloom: Harmful Algal Blooms, a Horn Point Lab Series

Presented by Professor Pat Glibert
Every drop of water is teaming with life, including microscopic algae. Most are beneficial and provide the food on which all aquatic life depends. However, some are harmful, even toxic, not only for fish but people. These harmful events are increasing around the world.  Being able to predict how algae will respond to changes in the environment is key to developing strategies to protect ecosystems and the food web.  Phytoplankton ecologist, Professor Pat Glibert--author of a new comprehensive book on the subject--will lead attendees through the latest research on harmful algal blooms.    
Pre-registration is requested.  Attendees can register for one or more of the talks online:
