The webinar also included presentations on HABs monitoring and surveillance efforts in New York State and a presentation on the lessons learned from the 2018 Microcystin dogs poisoning in Stuart, Florida. Presentations and recording of the webinar are posted here. 10th US HABs Symposium November 3-8, 2019 at Orange Beach, Alabama The 10th US Harmful Algal Bloom Symposium website ("http://ushabs.com/') was recently updated with the schedule that includes many exciting events, including five workshops, three plenaries, four events targeted for early career scientists, three special sessions, many contributed sessions, a stakeholder meeting, a town hall meeting, and several fun social events.
