The Great Lakes HABs Collaborative seeks to improve communication among scientists, and between scientists and decision-makers, on issues related to Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in the Great Lakes. Launched in 2015 by the GLC and the U.S. Geological Survey- Great Lakes Science Center, the HABs Collaborative has established a Common Agenda on science and management needs to help the region work together to prevent and manage HABs.
