Announcing the Second International Conference on Harmful Algae
Management and Mitigation
Qingdao, China
12-16 November, 2001
Harmful algae and their toxins can have serious impacts on health,
prosperity and commerce. These impacts include contamination of
seafood, damage to aquaculture and fisheries, direct human exposure
(dermal, aerosol, ingestion), and aesthetic degradation. Furthermore,
concern over the presence of algal toxins in seafood, or the
proliferation of harmful algae, can lead to impediments to otherwise
fruitful international trade.
The First International Conference on Harmful Algae Management and
Mitigation was held in the Philippine Islands in May, 1999. Continuing
the work begun there, this second conference will review the nature of
harmful algae and their impacts, and then explore options for their
management and mitigation.
The goal of the HAMM conferences is to develop practical strategies for
minimizing the impacts of harmful algae and their toxins on human
well-being and commerce, throughout and beyond the Asia-Pacific region.
