"A Walk Through the Rainbow with PACE"
by Jessica Merzdorf
Understanding phytoplankton health can help predict harmful algal blooms, or HABs. When substances from land
wash into the ocean, they sometimes become a feast for algae, allowing them to eat, grow and multiply rapidly.
HABs can generate harmful toxins that sicken marine wildlife and humans and deplete oxygen in the water as
bacteria feed on numerous dead algae.
