Description: Das Projekt "Konzertierte Aktion zur Feststellung, Ueberwachung und Vorhersage von Algenblueten" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Kiel, Institut für Meereskunde, Abteilung für Marine Planktologie durchgeführt. General Information: The proposal is for a Concerted Action into the detection, monitoring and prediction of a algal blooms from Earth Observation (EO) data. The proposal is submitted under Theme 3.1.1: Methodological Research. It aims a to bring together leading scientists and researchers is this field with end-users drawn from government departments and authorities responsible for water quality issues, from throughout Europe. Within Europe, and globally, the problem of algal blooms in coastal waters is common to many nations and is currently the subject of much research. Many, but not all, of these blooms are toxic. The toxic blooms have an impact local economies through their effects on shellfish production, fisheries manage and tourism. In particular, toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a health hazard, affecting livestock, pets and humans. Recent observations suggest an increasin frequency of algal blooms. In Europe, blooms routinely occur off the coasts of Norway, in the Baltic Sea, the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea. The proposed Concerted Action responds to one of the major recommendations of OCTOPUS study programme undertaken for the European Commission that investigate operational uses of ocean colour data and recognised the potential use of satelbased data for monitoring algal blooms. The objectives of the Concerted Action are: - to advance the ability to detect and monitor algal blooms from EO data, and i so doing gain a greater understanding of the contributing factors to the initiation of algal blooms, - to use this knowledge to formulate the requirements of future research program targeted to address specific problems identified through the Concerted Action- to increase the knowledge base and dissemination of research results through sharing advances and breakthroughs made in a series of workshops,- to make recommendations to policy makers such as the European environmental. A and the European Commission concerned with water quality matters, and to their directives and recommendations recognise the European perspective. The Concerted Action will take the form of a series of 8 workshops, with each focusing on a topic from the themes of algal bloom detection and algal bloom Participants will benefit through the sharing of advances made by other researthrough the contributions made by visiting scientists and end users. Prime Contractor: University of Dundee, Department of Applied Physics, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering; Dundee/UK.
