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.
