Description
The authors review the current knowledge base on harmful algal blooms on the U.S. West Coast, including hydrographic conditions that induce and nourish blooms, bloom dynamics, and the biology of the harmful algae. They also highlight major questions that need to be addressed to understand biology and bloom dynamics, such as source of harmful algae, whether offshore water transport is a contributing factor, the extent of blooms, life cycles, and effects of blooms on food webs.
