Science communication devices and outreach projects on harmful algal blooms in the finger lakes

Other Titles

Abstract

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) affect all 11 of the Finger Lakes in New York State. The cyanobacteria that make up the majority of HABs biomass produce microcystin, which makes blooming water bodies hazardous to the health of humans and animals that encounter them. However, the Finger Lakes Region is economically reliant on the use of the lakes for tourism- based businesses. Both climate change and current land management practices create conditions that encourage the growth of HABs on the Finger Lakes, leading to lost workdays and reduced capacity to function for businesses supported by lake tourism. This portfolio is a collection of science communication devices and projects - methods of educating the public about the risks and causes of HABs - directed towards residents and visitors of the Finger Lakes. The goal of these materials is to create behavioral changes that prevent HABs in the future. Each is accompanied by a brief description.
