Description

Pseudo-nitzschia SPP. Can contaminate shellfish with the toxin domoic acid, compelling state managers to close important fisheries to protect public health and safety. The consequences of fishery closures can be severe for coastal communities that rely on access to fishery resources. One of the most effective ways to mitigate the socioeconomic impacts associated with these closures is to provide early warning of toxic events so that coastal resource managers can better plan for a productive season. In the pacific northwest, this is achieved through an integrated system of monitoring, forecasting, and communication of bloom risk. A critical component of this system is the provision of near realtime information on particulate domoic acid concentrations from a mooring equipped with an environmental sample processor (ESP). The ESP is an autonomous sensor
