Algae Bloom Remediation Workshop

Join the agriculture community, algae bloom researchers and
remediation technology experts as they tackle the devasting
algae bloom and red tide problem through open collaboration.

The algae bloom situation is affecting tourism, fishing, real estate and local economies. While algae bloom research, testing and monitoring is ongoing within the State of Florida, collaboration and open communication on fixing the existing algae bloom and HAB problems need to be addressed. National Algae Association, is the first non-profit algae association to focus on education, production and algae bloom remediation trade association in the world, made up of commercially-minded algae researchers, producers, remediation and equipment companies in the US and throughout the world, would like to extend an invitation to your organization to attend or become a sponsor for our Algae Bloom Remediation Workshop we are facilitating in Ft. Lauderdale.

NAA has invited commercially-minded algae bloom researchers, remediation and equipment companies to discuss differences between algae blooms created by phosphorous and nitrogen as well as toxic algae blooms (HAB’s) to discuss the following subjects below to educate and address potential algae bloom remediation technology solutions.

Open Collaboration + Innovation = Algae Bloom Remediation Implementation.

Areas of discussion:

1. Differences between algae blooms and HAB’s
2. Existing Algae Bloom Testing and Monitoring
3. Commercial algae bloom technologies proven outside the lab, scalable with a low CAPEX.
4. Collaboration opportunities between algae bloom researchers and private industry.
5. Pilot tests and monitoring progress on remediation, dewatering methods
6. Potential co-products made from algae blooms.
7. Current state and federal legislation in the State of Florida
8. Funding available for remediation.
