A boat cuts a green wake – a harmful algal bloom – in western Lake Erie. Lake Erie has been plagued by a steady increase of HABs and hypoxic low oxygen events over the past decade. These blooms consist of cyanobacteria or blue-green algae, which are capable of producing toxins that pose a risk to human and animal health, foul coastlines and affect communities and businesses that depend on the lake. Many of the funded projects aim to better forecast HABs and hypoxia across the United States, including Lake Erie, which will allow resource managers to prepare when conditions that promote HABs and hypoxia occur.

Multi-year awards to focus on sea level rise, hypoxia and harmful algal blooms

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–October 25, 2016 NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science will award $10.44 million over the next five years for 10 projects to address sea level rise, hypoxia and harmful algal blooms (HABs).
