Training the next generation.

The theme of this year's 9th US Symposium on Harmful Algae will reflect the shift in the current climate in the field. Harmful algae and its environmental effects are becoming better understood by scientists, and this meeting will hopefully serve as a means to usher in new ideas and ways of researching and treating harmful algae that will be embraced by the next generation of researchers in the field.

Workshops will be held at the Institute of Marine & Environmental Technology, located at 701 E. Pratt St., in Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
