    Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, are found in freshwater systems, contributing to their growth. These factors include human activities, light availability, water temperature, water flow, and nutrient loading. HABs is caused by cyanobacteria – or blue-green algae, a nuisance species – and it impacts human health and safety, fish and wildlife, water supply, reservoir operations and recreation. In 2020, Congress directed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to implement a five-year technology demonstration program focused on tools for freshwater HABs detection, prevention and management. ERDC is leading approximately 25 separate research efforts in its $10 million portfolio to deliver solutions to HABs problems affecting the nation. (Photo by Brigida I. Sanchez)
