Abstract: The Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act (P.L. 105-383) calls for “an assessment which examines the ecological and alternatives for reducing, mitigating, and controlling harmful algal blooms, and the social and economic costs and benefits of such alternatives.” This report, A National Assessment of Harmful Algal Blooms in US Waters, presents a synthesis of
current research and management expertise on the causes, consequences, and current status of harmful algal blooms (HABs) nationwide and presents alternatives and recommendations for addressing HABs and their impacts. This assessment was developed by the Task Force on Harmful Bloom and Hypoxia under the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Committee on Environment and Natural Resources (CENR). It was a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary effort that included input from States, Indian tribes, industry, nonprofit organizations, and other stakeholders.
