Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are an increasing problem in coastal countries worldwide, causing important negative socio-economic and environmental impacts. In this special issue we will focus in the ecological factors surrounding these events, mainly on those that are used, or can be used, for surveillance and management purposes. The main goal of this Special Issue is to present local cases from a global perspective in order to clarify how HABs are originated and develop, but also how scientific information and management aspects can be combined in order to prevent and forecast them more efficiently.
