of algal events, ranging from local eutrophication, changes in climate and increased exploitation of coastal areas. The Summary considers the causes, impacts and mitigation options, including management issues associated with harmful algal events and their
impacts on ecosystems and society. This overview of the current scientific understanding of harmful algal blooms and mitigation options will assist non-specialist and decisions makers in planning monitoring and management of harmful algal events to address
environmental, socio-economic and health impacts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
