NOAA awards funds to improve toxic algal bloom predictions in the Western Gulf of Mexico
Date:10/2/2009

in Texas coastal waters," said lead Texas A&M University investigator Lisa Campbell. "Our project directly addresses this goal and will provide critical data on the mechanism of bloom formation."

Developing better HAB detection tools and forecasting models can reduce the impacts on human health and coastal economies by allowing state resource and public health managers to identify and quantify K. brevis in coastal waters at an earlier stage and to predict bloom formation.

Specifically, this multi-investigator, interdisciplinary project seeks to determine how blooms form in the western Gulf and uses a computer model to develop predictions based on wind and current conditions, which can concentrate Karenia cells.
