The Harmful Algae Bloom Surveillance (HABS) program is working to gain a better understanding about the occurrence of toxic algae blooms in Oregon, and we advise the public when a bloom has been detected so people can take protective action to avoid illness.
We work with a variety of partners to share information, coordinate efforts and communicate with the public. All data regarding harmful algae blooms and human and animal health illnesses are reported to our funding agency, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where they become part of a national database.
