     "text": "Complex problems such as HABs and algal toxins require an integrated and interdisciplinary science approach in partnership with stakeholders, policymakers, and the public. The USGS is in a unique position with an interdisciplinary workforce that includes, but is not limited to, biologists, chemists, data scientists, ecologists, geographers, geologists, geochemists, hydrologists, numerical and process-based modelers, phycologists, physical scientists, social scientists, programmers, statisticians, and wildlife toxicologists. During the last two decades, USGS scientists have contributed substantially to HABs and algal toxin production research owing to their ability to conduct integrated science."

     "text": "Exposure to algal toxins for humans and animals have propelled the study of algal blooms within the environment (water, soil, dust). Algal blooms naturally occur in all surface-water types and are important primary producers for aquatic ecosystems; however, it is important to understand when and why a bloom becomes toxic. The ease of conducting interdisciplinary science within the USGS allows research into the fundamental environmental causes and controls that lead to algal toxin production, environmental exposures, and adverse health outcome for humans and animals."

The intention is for USGS and stakeholders to use this document as a starting point for planning, prioritizing, and designing future HAB and algal toxin research projects."

These opportunities were identified through literature gap analysis and alignment with  USGS expertise and capabilities. This document was intentionally designed for flexible future implementation of science."
