Abstract

Summary This chapter details the risks presented by harmful algal blooms (HABs) and the factors which influence their formation. The management options and their potential intentional and unintentional effects are also addressed. The management of a pond affected by reoccurring blooms is treated using a fairly straightforward application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine which of three management alternatives is best suited.
