After Hours Lecture Series

Harmful algal blooms, or HABs, occur when algae in the water grow excessively and produce toxins and other harmful effects that impact the environment and people. Algal species capable of producing HABs have increased in abundance in the Chesapeake Bay and many other coastal areas during the last decade, causing concern among resource managers, industry members, health officials, and the public. Join us as Dr. Kim Reece, Professor of Marine Science at VIMS, provides a primer on HABs and discusses her team’s work to understand the impacts they have on the ecosystem. 

Registration is required for access to this online webinar. After Hours lectures are designed for an adult audience, but all ages are welcome to watch. Attendees will be able to ask questions via the Zoom chat feature during a Q&A session after the presentation.
