[ISSHA] Invitation to the HABSEA Portal

[Rhodora V. Azanza]

16 Nov. 2003

Dear all,

Greetings!

The HABSEA Portal is the gateway to HAB information in Asia initially 
emanating from the Southeast Asian countries.  It has been created to 
help educate and empower the various sectors of the society of the 
Southeast Asian region particularly those involved in understanding and 
managing Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB's) that could adversely affect human 
health and fisheries, if not properly managed.  

Information will range from the varied interpretation of HAB's which is 
commonly referred to as red tides or toxic phytoplankton occurrence, 
management strategies instituted, and varied source learning to enhance 
understanding of the phenomenon.  We hope you find this portal very 
useful and in turn we welcome any contribution to this site to make it 
more beneficial.  

On behalf of the HABSEA Portal Editors, I would like to invite all of 
you to view, comment and make suggestions for its improvement.  Please 
indicate your comments per page of the Portal which is found on the 
right hand side.  The web address is http://portal.unesco.org/habsea 

Thank you very much.

Rhodora V. Azanza
