    • Description:
      To protect people and animals, CDC works to detect, investigate, and prevent illnesses caused by harmful algal blooms.

      Harmful algal blooms are the rapid growth of algae or cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae) in water that can harm people, animals, or the local ecology. Warm waters, extreme weather, and high levels of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous can increase the geographic range and growth of harmful algae.

      These blooms are a growing domestic and global threat. Harmful algal blooms can make people sick, kill animals, damage the environment, and harm local economies dependent on natural water for food, tourism, or transportation.

      To prevent illness and protect local communities, public health departments need high-quality data to use and share with partners during responses to harmful algal blooms.
