About
US Harmful Algal Bloom - Control Technologies & Regulatory Logistics
The United States Harmful Algal Bloom Control Technologies & Regulatory Logistics (US HAB CTRL) website helps researchers, agencies, managers, and industry stakeholders to understand regulations and permitting requirements related to the development and use of HAB control technologies.
US HAB-CTRL is maintained through the US Harmful Algal Bloom - Control Technologies Incubator (US HAB-CTI). US HAB-CTI goal is to help accelerate the development and assessment of strategies that eliminate or reduce harmful algae and their toxins through biological, chemical, or physical means. This work is guided by an Advisory and Review Board with representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), state agencies, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and industry.
Our Mission
Our mission is to advance the development and use of effective, science-based technologies that control or reduce HABs and their toxins. We aim to expand the range of proven control options available and to clarify the permitting processes required for their deployment. By doing so, we support a more effective and coordinated national response to controlling HABs.
