Harmful algal blooms put these social-ecological connections at risk, with sharp consequences for people who depend on impacted resources. This talk will explore the effects of the unprecedented 2015 bloom of Pseudo-nitzschia on fisheries and fishing communities on the U.S. West Coast using a social-ecological systems framework. This approach reveals mechanisms that can amplify or dampen the societal impacts of HABs and the ability of human communities to respond to and recover from them. The results provide a foundation for preparing communities for future HABs, which are expected to worsen along the West Coast as a result of climate change.</span></p>

She joined the NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center in 2017 where she currently works as a Research Oceanographer. Growing up in Australia and surrounded by water, Steph understood the intimate and inextricable connection between the oceans and human wellbeing. Just as the oceans can nourish and sustain, they can also harbor rising threats made worse by climate change. Stephanie’s research focuses on the complex and dynamic social and ecological interactions of harmful algal blooms in marine ecosystems. The use of robotic technologies is fundamental to her work to develop a mechanistic understanding of bloom formation, monitor blooms in near real-time, and inform societal response efforts now and into the future.</span></p>
