Working Group 3 (HAB)

WG3 has been established mainly to implement monitoring and assessment of harmful algal blooms (HAB) including red tide, which is chosen as the initial subject of coastal environmental assessment.

HAB Reference Database and Cochlodinium Homepage

HAB Reference Database
provides reference information on scientific studies on HABs including red tide and toxin-producing plankton. It is hoped that this database will promote further studies on red tide and HAB in the NOWPAP Region

Cochlodinium Homepage
Cochlodinium is one of the most concerned harmful species in the NOWPAP Region.
This homepage provides basic information on this species to the public.

WG4 has been working on the development of special monitoring tools for marine and coastal environment utilizing RS (Remote Sensing) technique.

RS Information Network

Portal Site on Ocean RS
provides links to information and data on marine environmental monitoring by RS.

Website on oil spill minitoring by RS
introduces various satellite RS techniques for monitoring oil spills.
