    • Acquisition and analysis of remote sensing imagery of harmful algal blooms. 

      Kudela, Raphael M.; Stumpf, Richard P.; Petrov, Peter (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
      Remote sensing was long considered an obvious tool for studying the distribution of harmful algal bloom (HAB) organisms over larger spatial and shorter time scales than is possible with ship-based sampling (Tester et al. ...

    • Algal issues in seawater desalination. 

      Hess, Philipp; Villacorte, Loreen O.; Dixon, Mike B.; Boerlage, Siobhan F.E.; Anderson, Donald M.; Kennedy, Maria D.; Schippers, Jan C. (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
      Once harmful algal blooms (HABs) reach a desalination plant, they can cause significant operational issues and potential health concerns for consumers. These issues stem from two factors – first, the algal cells produce ...

    • Creating a weekly Harmful Algal Bloom bulletin. Version 1.0. [Best Practice Description Document] 

      Leadbetter, Adam; Silke, Joe; Cusack, Caroline (Marine Institute, Galway, Ireland, 2018)
      This document describes the procedural steps in creating an information product focused on toxic and harmful phytoplankton. The product is an online Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) bulletin for aquaculturists, who can face serious ...

    • Designing an observing system for early detection of harmful algal blooms. 

      Karlson, Bengt; Anderson, Clarissa R.; Coyne, Kathryn J.; Sellner, Kevin G.; Anderson, Donald M. (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
      Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious and growing threat to many desalination plants. It is therefore important to limit the impact from HABs by preventing blooms from reaching seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants ...

    • Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and Desalination: a Guide to Impacts, Monitoring and Management. 

      Anderson, Donald M.; Boerlage, Siobhan F. E.; Dixon, Mike B. (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO,, Paris, France, 2017)
      Arid countries throughout the world are heavily reliant on seawater desalination for their supply of drinking and municipal water. The desalination industry is large and rapidly growing, approaching more than 20,000 ...

    • Harmful algal blooms. 

      Anderson, Donald M. (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
      Harmful algal blooms are increasing in frequency and magnitude in many parts of the world, and one of the sectors of society that is being increasingly affected is the desalination industry. Given trends in the development ...

    • World Health Organization and International Guidelines for toxin control, Harmful Algal Boom management, and response planning. 

      Soltani, Alex; Hess, Philipp; Dixon, Mike B.; Boerlage, Siobhan F.E.; Anderson, Donald M.; Newcombe, Gayle; House, Jenny; Ho, Lionel; Baker, Peter; Burch, Michael (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
      Drinking water guidelines are designed to protect public health and the safety of drinking water supplies by suggesting safe levels for constituents that are known to be hazardous to health. The World Health Organization ...
