Through a combination of long-term regionalstudies and short-term targeted studies, ECOHAB seeks to produce new,state-of-the-art detection methodologies for HABs and their toxins, tounderstand the causes and dynamics of HABs, to develop forecasts of HAB growth,transport, and toxicity, and to predict and ameliorate impacts on highertrophic levels and humans. Research results will be used to guide management ofcoastal resources to reduce HAB development, impacts, and future threats.Projects selected for support must successfully compete in a rigorous external,peer-review process that ensures a high-level of scientific merit. Projectsinclude a mix of investigators from academic, state, Federal (including NOAAOcean Service), and non-profit institutions.In its simplest form, the goal of the ECOHAB program is to develop anunderstanding of the population dynamics and trophic impacts of harmful algalspecies which can be used as a basis for minimizing adverse effects on theeconomy, public health, and marine ecosystems.
