Good practice for cyanobacterial and algal bloom detection across Europe
This report provides guidance on good practices for the detection of cyanobacterial and algal blooms. In recent years, bloom events are increasing worldwide, which is an environmental problem and has health implications on animals and humans.
The aim of this technical report is: to provide protocols for monitoring bloom events in waterbodies, to arise
awareness of the bloom phenomena and to give an overview of monitoring/management practices implemented in the Member States (MS). This report also includes results of a JRC survey launched in 2019. In this exercise, fifteen MS provided information on parameters taken into account for the assessment of the occurrence of bloom events, warning/de-warning systems applied in national programs and measures taken to inform people and anticipate/reduce risks of these events.
