Ocean Currents, Zooplankton & HAB's

Students will collaborate in groups to create a hypothesis about the origin of toxins in oceans, determine what additional data will support or refute their hypothesis, analyze and interpret time-series graphs and understand how harmful algal blooms (HAB's) may affect a food web. If you are interested in learning more about the actual study read An unprecedented coastwide toxic algal bloom linked to anomalous ocean conditions.
