Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative Year 2 Report
In the summer of 2014, toxic algae made people near Lake Erie afraid to use their water. After the crisis was over, front-line state agencies in Ohio worked with science teams at Ohio universities to fill in critical gaps in our knowledge—things that were still unknown about tracking and dealing with harmful algal blooms. The second results are in from this Harmful Algal Blooms Research Initiative (HABRI), and state agencies are now better prepared to prevent and handle water issues from harmful algal blooms.
I was responsible for writing the project summaries and featured projects, updating the introduction text with new information, and managing the production process that included collecting information from the researchers, working with them on edits, coordinating with a freelance designer, and publishing the final report.
