Scientists with NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science and partners are currently testing an experimental forecast that advances tracking and predicting harmful algal blooms
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can have adverse effects on human, animal, and ecosystem health, and cause significant economic impacts to coastal communities. Ranging from single-celled
Coastal Conversations Podcast: Episode 5 For 25 years NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science has been the focal point for NOAA’s coastal ocean science
In a recent workshop hosted by NCCOS, experts from NOAA, BOEM, and other key partners came together to discuss the future of marine spatial planning
NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science along with the U.S. Geological Survey published a Joint Pilot Technical Memorandum and StoryMap highlighting a seamless spatial
Causes of Harmful Algal Blooms and Toxicity Environmental drivers regulating harmful algal bloom (HAB) growth and toxicity span a wide range of physical, chemical, and
On April 20, 2010, an explosion occurred on BP’s Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico, causing loss of life and extensive
In 2010, more than 770 square miles of mesophotic and deep-sea habitats were injured by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In 2023, the National Oceanic
This project will provide critical information and predictive tools to coastal managers for understanding how species will respond to changing hypoxia conditions from ongoing and
We are seeking to understand the physical and biogeochemical mechanisms driving emerging hypoxia formation on the nutrient-poor West Florida Shelf. We will also determine how
