An algal bloom affects the whole ecosystem. Consequences range from the benign feeding of higher trophic levels to more harmful effects like blocking sunlight from reaching other organisms, causing adepletion of oxygen levels inthe water, and, depending on the organism, secreting toxins into the wate...

This was achieved by collecting data that exist in the technical literature and group them into four categories: (1) human health impacts; (2) fishery impacts; (3) tourism and recreation impacts; (4) monitoring and management costs. The data analysed refer to both marine and freshwater HABs....

Harmful algal blooms can produce toxins that pose threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health. In this Review, we outline the global trends in harmful algal bloom occurrence and explore the drivers, future trajectories and potential mitigation strategies. Globally, harmful algal bloom occurrence has...
