Working Group 15: Ecology of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in the North Pacific
  • Acronym: WG 15
  • Parent Committee: MEQ
  • Term: Oct. 1999 - Oct. 2003
  • Co-Chairs:
    F.J.R. (Max) Taylor (Canada)
    Tatiana Yu. Orlova (Russia)
Terms of Reference
  1. Identify the various species involved, and the timing, frequency, and duration of harmful algal bloom events;
  2. Develop a regional database of relevant observational parameters associated with bloom events, including maps, bibliography, data sets and techniques, existing programs and expanded list of researchers in the area;
  3. Investigate links between bloom events and environmental factors, trophic interactions and possible anthropogenic stress (e.g., eutrophication);
  4. Assess the economic, health-related, and environmental impacts arising from harmful algal bloom events in order to improve the ability to predict the occurrence of these events and thus minimize their overall impacts;
  5. Suggest areas where critical data are missing and where future research is necessary;
  6. Facilitate regional collaborative research efforts at various levels to address these problems.
