2 Outline of presentation General introduction on HABs Overview of coastal monitoring efforts Collaborations Regional versus local influences Correlation length scales along sites Aerial photo taken by: Charles J. Smith

3 What are harmful algal blooms? HABs ~3 species of algae Occasionally, algae grow very fast, become dominant, or "bloom" Negative effects to environment, ecosystem, or humans

4 Some HAB species in Southern California Toxic species Pseudo-nitzschia (domoic acid, ASP- amnesic shellfish poisoning) Alexandrium. (saxitoxin, PSP- paralytic shellfish poisoning) Bloom formers L. polyedrum (yessotoxin?) Gymnodinium sanguineum Prorocentrum Dinophysis (okadaic acid, DSP- diarrhetic shellfish poisoning) Cochlodinium (toxic?)

5 SCCOOS Regional HAB program Weekly Samples- 5 sites Cal Poly Pier- SLO Stearn s Wharf- SB Santa Monica Pier Newport Beach Pier Scripps Pier, La Jolla

6 Current monitoring for HABs 1x per week, surface samples Chlorophyll (GF/F, acetone extraction) Nutrients (NO 3 -, NO 2 -, PO 4 3-, SiO 2, NH 4 + ) Temperature, Salinity Net tow ( µm, 4 x 1m vertical tow) Phytoplankton species composition Cell counts of HAB species (Utermöhl) Toxin analysis- domoic acid Event based sampling

7 SCCOOS Regional HAB program Goals of HAB program Multi-university collaboration Comparable data Online updates on HABs Gain predictive skills Build towards an integrated state-wide network Collaboration with CDPH net tow (weekly) mussel samples (monthly) Collaboration with HABMAP weekly updates to list serve

8 Statewide network of HAB researchers and responders 1 subscribers from a variety of sectors (government, academia and NGOs) Marine mammal and bird rescue groups Information Exchange distribution listserve Provide HAB information and forum to discuss current event Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research California

15 SIO NB SM SW CP S N SIO NB SM SW CP..48*.31*.36* * *.1.31* * *.24*.31* Correlation length scales of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. Pseudo-nitzschia spp. within SCB significantly correlated similar physical forcing? Other HAB species show significant correlations only between one or two closest stations: L. polyedrum Prorocentrum spp.

16 Conclusions Local versus regional influence SST- only parameter with consistent seasonal cycle; regionally forced CHL- close proximity; more local influence Pseudo-nitzschia spp. stations within bight more similar large scale physical forcing? Importance of species data for HAB prediction
