Measuring Harmful Algal Bloom Toxins Using Real-Time Data Buoys in the Great Lakes
While harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a significant issue in the Great Lakes that have been monitored using real-time data buoys, there is still no automated method for measuring the toxins produced by these blooms. Todd Miller, an affiliate and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and principal investor at the Laboratory for Aquatic Microbiology and Chemistry , is currently working toward a solution that allows for the prediction of toxin concentrations through the use of real-time lake data. The toxins produced by HABs—microcystins, cylindrospermopsin, and anatoxins—can be exposed to humans and animals through a variety of methods.
Real-Time Monitoring in Rhode Island: Narragansett Bay Fixed Station Monitoring Network
Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island has a long history of water quality issues resulting from land pollution, leading to the influx of nutrients into the bay, which can cause algal blooms and declines in dissolved oxygen. The resulting hypoxia and thermal stratification are of particular concern due to their impacts on the coastal fishery. “To understand these shifts throughout Narragansett Bay, a small group of researchers were established in 1999 to monitor physical water quality parameters on a continuous basis,” explains Heather Stoffel, a marine research associate at the University of Rhode Island ( URI ) and Quality Assurance Officer for the Narragansett Bay Fixed Station Monitoring Network ( NBFSMN ).
Monitoring New Hampshire’s Aquatic Ecosystems: Continuous Data Collection in the Lamprey River Watershed
New Hampshire’s aquatic ecosystems provide a range of ecosystem services to the state and region. Resources and services like clean water, carbon storage, climate regulation, nutrient regulation, and opportunities for recreation all depend on New Hampshire’s aquatic ecosystems remaining healthy. Jody Potter, an analytical instrumentation scientist at the University of New Hampshire (UNH), is studying these aquatic ecosystems in hopes of developing an improved understanding of ecosystem services and their interactions with climate change, climate variability, and land use changes.
From Hurricanes to Florida’s Red Tides: Monitoring the Southwest Gulf Coast
Nearly every year, southwest Florida is blighted by harmful Karenia brevis blooms–known colloquially as Florida red tides. These harmful algal blooms (HABs) form over the West Florida shelf and are pushed shorewards by winds and currents. Once in touching distance of the coast, they often intensify, fed by land-based runoff, anthropogenic nutrients, and decomposing marine life killed by toxins produced by these red tides. Red tides have become more severe and persistent over the past 20 years, causing major environmental and economic damage.
