Harmful Algal Blooms: Prevention, Prediction, Management,

Harmful algal blooms are impacting human and ecological
health across the globe in both freshwater and marine
systems. In some cases, they can be prevented or
controlled, but in others they can only be predicted and
managed.
The panel will discuss various approaches for dealing with
this increasingly intractable problem.

This panel will compare and contrast experiences of the
Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, Louisiana Coastal Area,
and Florida Everglades ecosystem restoration programs, and
will explore the crafting and sustaining of a federal policy
and funding frameworks to sustain each. Panelists will
discuss what it will take to advance a national resource
management and ecosystem restoration agenda - including
policy and funding requirements for creating a
collaborative, instead of competitive, framework at a
national level. |

Restoration Coffee House Two
Invasive Species: Asian Carp Case Study ○ Presentation
Invasive species cost $120 billion annually and cause
enormous impacts to native species and ecosystems. The
introduction of a relatively small number of non-native
organisms can quickly over-run native species as the
newcomers reproduce and feed with little or no competition.
Once they become established, non-native species are usually
impossible to eradicate and often difficult to control,
creating permanent changes to ecosystems. Prevention is the
primary method to protect native ecosystems from invasive
organisms. The panel will describe the history, extent and
possible impact on the Great Lakes of the Asian carps; the
measures currently being employed to address them; and
potential future actions, including re-establishing a
subcontinental divide between the Mississippi River system
and the Great Lakes.
