Workshop Description: This session will present the post-project outcomes of the SATREPS-MACH initiative, focusing on sustainable strategies developed for managing harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Chile. Discussions will include advancements in HAB holobiomes, monitoring technologies, policy implementations, and community engagement achieved since the project’s conclusion. Additionally, recent research findings and their implications for future HAB management will be explored.
Program:
- Welcome by the Coordinators (Fumito Maruyama & Milko Jorquera)
- Overview of SATREPS-MACH achievements and legacy
- Advances in HAB monitoring technology and forecasting systems
- Policy integration and community engagement outcomes
- Recent research updates on structure and dynamics of HAB holobiomes in Chilean coastal seawaters
- Panel discussion: Future challenges and collaboration opportunities
- Acknowledgements and closure
