Abstract: In response to the 2015-16 massive harmful algal bloom of the toxin-producing marine diatom Pseudo-nitzschia along the West Coast of the United States, the California Ocean Science Trust convened a four-member working group of the Ocean Protection Council Science Advisory Team at the request of the Ocean Protection Council and the Interagency Marine Harmful Algal Bloom Task Force. On June 27, 2016, Ocean Science Trust led a workshop with working group members to begin addressing these topics: • State of the science on West Coast HABs; • Guidance on strengthening existing HAB and biotoxin monitoring in California; • Information needs and gaps between government; actions and scientific understanding; • State and federal agency resource needs to accommodate incorporation of greater scientific understanding and capacity. The workshop led to a report developed by working group members in partnership with Ocean Science Trust. The workshop report is a summary of high level messages from workshop discussions, conversations with individual working group members, and consultation with additional experts.
