Causes
Process by which high nutrient input results in increased algal biomass
What is eutrophication?
Process by which concentrations of toxins increase with tropic level in a food chain
What is biomagnification?
Solution that uses macrophytes to remove toxins from water bodies
What is the Green Liver System?
Organism that thrives in higher temperatures driven by human activity
What are cyanobacteria?
Seafood we enjoy that is responsible for many cases of HAB poisonings
What are shellfish?
Regulation of these two nutrients as inputs into water bodies may reduce the severity of HABs
What are nitrogen and phosphorus?
Increases the area of shallow coastal water habitats, which are optimal for algal growth
What are rising sea levels?
A part of the body that cyanobacterial toxins affect upon exposure
What is the skin / liver / nervous system?
Organization that operates the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
What is the EPA?
Period of cells' life cycle in which the most toxins are released to the surrounding water
What is cell death / lysis?
What is the health / fisheries / tourism & recreation / monitoring & management sector?
