  • Advance understanding of HAB impacts on Alaska Native communities and developing new directions for research, monitoring, and mitigation across coastal Alaska
  • Understand the distribution and impact of unprecedented cyanobacterial blooms and their toxins in estuaries within the Alaskan Arctic circle
  • Identify HAB toxin accumulation, exposure risks, and impacts in Alaskan Arctic marine food resources and share findings with Alaskan communities
