Harmful Algal Bloom Vulnerability in Michigan

Harmful Algal Bloom Vulnerability in Michigan (arcgis.com)
 
Identifying places where populations in Michigan may be most at risk from harmful algal blooms (HABs).

This project sought to create a measure of population vulnerability to harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Michigan. It was a statewide extension of an earlier effort for quantifying HAB exposure risk for some communities in Lake Erie’s western basin and the Saginaw Bay basin. In that project, demographic indicators of HAB sensitivity and adaptive capacity were combined with water quality indicators to generate an overall index of risk among the communities.
