A harmful algal bloom (HAB) is a rapid increase in the population of certain types of algae in aquatic environments, which can have detrimental effects on aquatic life, human health, and the environment. These blooms are often caused by specific strains of microscopic algae (phytoplankton), which can produce toxins harmful to marine organisms, birds, and mammals, as well as humans.
