The State of Harmful Algal Blooms in South FL and the IRL

Event ended

This presentation will review on-going Harmful Algal Bloom events in South Florida and the Indian River Lagoon, their complexities and the possible repercussions to our ecosystems and human health.
Doors open at 6:30. Free and open to the public.

Jim Sullivan is originally from New England and received his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography. He has spent most of his career studying phytoplankton (algae) and developing new optical instrumentation and techniques to better understand their physiology and ecology in the ocean. He is particularly interested in improving our scientific understanding of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and how to better inform the public, water management agencies and policy makers of critical HAB science. He joined FAU Harbor Branch in 2015 as a Research Professor and named Executive Director of FAU Harbor Branch in 2018. Governor DeSantis appointed Dr. Sullivan along with four others to the newly established Blue-Green Algae Task Force on April 29, 2019.

He and his family are now extremely happy to be living in Florida, and to be part of the FAU Harbor Branch family.
