Detection and Forecasting of Harmful Algal Blooms - webinar
Start Date: 4/16/2025Start Time: 3:00 PM
End Date: 4/16/2025End Time: 4:00 PM
Event Description:
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) produce great amounts of cyanotoxins, significantly threatening aquatic ecosystems and public health. Knowledge of the timing and location of cyanoHAB events and cyanotoxin production is important for water quality management of recreational and drinking water systems. This webinar will go over two EPA research efforts related to detecting and forecasting cyanoHABs. The first uses satellite data to predict weekly probabilities of cyanoHABs in over 2,000 US lakes. The team launched the public beta test forecast website for the 2024 active HAB season, and a newly updated forecasting website is planned for 2025. The forecasting has 91% overall accuracy, allowing local partners and states to prepare and quickly respond to cyanoHAB events, mitigate health risks, and protect public health. The second research effort uses cyanotoxin encoding genes as an early warning system to predict cyanoHABs in source and recreational waters throughout the US.
