Golden Algae Research
Project Overview
Work with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Baylor University, and the University of Texas at Arlington to investigate linkages between water conditions, nutrients, dissolved organic matter, and blooms of golden algae. Develop and verify the effectiveness of management options to prevent or disrupt blooms of toxic golden algae.
