Harmful Algal Blooms research as a focus for the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
Natta Room L2, IMAS waterfront building, Hobart Tasmania

At the first IMOS and HABs meeting in November 2016 it was decided to select the Tasmanian region as a test bed to explore the possibility of a HAB forecasting and discuss if IMOS would be able to underpin this.
Objectives:
Based on the species priority list and industry needs in the region, explore the status of the models, in situ and satellite observations and discuss a preliminary work plan for forecasting.
