I just found out what a "HAB" event was.......


All this time, I thought it was when JHabs was turning wood...



HAB event.....Harmful Algae Bloom...a.k.a "RED TIDE"...

Harmful algal bloom events regularly threaten human health and marine mammals, contaminate local fish and shellfish, and depress coastal tourist and recreational industries. They can produce toxins and create large dense "blooms" of cells, such as the Florida red tide. Others can threaten human health even when they are not visible in the water, such as Pfiesteria piscicida, the organism that has been associated with fish kills and potential human health effects in Maryland and North Carolina waters.
