Harmful Algal Blooms

DESCRIPTION

Technology transition/stakeholder engagement in Delaware and Florida coastal regions to gauge and improve the perception of deploying natural bacteria to combat harmful algal blooms. ERDC-EL needs to better understand the biology of the aquatic invasive species Starry Stonewort (SSW) in its native environment to inform its behavior in non-native environments. ERDC understands the use of cyanophages as a mechanism of biological management for cyanobacteria-driven harmful algal blooms (HABs).
