Yearly KS Harmful Algal Bloom Meeting

KDHE sponsored, multi-agency HAB meetings have been held annually in Topeka, Kansas. Stakeholders from the state, county and city commissions, public works, planning, water and parks departments, academia, and regulatory agencies convene to discuss the environmental, recreational, public health, and economic impacts associated with harmful algal blooms in Kansas.

Presentations given during the symposiums:
