Original caption: “At the Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) station, students get a hands-on experience with two fascinating aspects of the world invisible to the naked eye: bioluminescence and their life cycle (swimming cells in the water column and cysts in the sediment). Students see the real cells through microscopes set up to demonstrate two HAB species found in Florida: Pyrodinium bahamense and Karenia brevis (the red tide organism).” Photo by Florida Wildlife Commission (flickr, Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic license). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cb13b96f9ac0001e89cf6/1700594144905-TZ5HDFJJ2AJJD3V004NU/HABs-media-outreach-USGS-2000px.jpg HAB mitigation (Copy) - Public outreach about HABs, U.S.A.
