Abstract: In early August 2014, the municipality of Toledo, OH (USA) issued a ‘do not drink’ advisory on their water supply directly affecting over 400,000 residential customers and hundreds of businesses (Wilson, 2014) This order was attributable to levels of microcystin, a potent liver toxin, which rose to 25 mg L1 in finished drinking water The Toledo crisis afforded an opportunity to bring together scientists from around the world to share ideas regarding factors that contribute to bloom formation and toxigenicity, bloom and toxin detection as well as prevention and remediation of bloom events These discussions took place at an NSF- and NOAA-sponsored workshop at Bowling Green State University on April 13 and 14, 2015 In all, more than 100 attendees from six countries and 15 US states gathered together to share their perspectives The purpose of this review is to present the consensus summary of these issues that emerged from discussions at the Workshop As additional reports in this special issue provide detailed reviews on many major CHAB species, this paper focuses on the general themes common to all blooms, such as bloom detection, modeling, nutrient loading, and strategies to reduce nutrients

TL;DR: After the quantification issues are resolved, combining the LightDeck system with an already-proven rapid lysis method (such as microwaving) will allow beach managers and water treatment operators to make quicker, well-informed decisions.

Statistical Methods for Ecological Breakpoints and Prediction Intervals
TL;DR: In this paper, a piecewise linear quantile regression model was proposed to estimate the breakpoints and thus to obtain prediction intervals of the breakpoint intervals, which can be used to construct confidence bands for the ecological response given human induced disturbances to the nature.

Permian Cyanobacterial Blooms Resulted in Enrichment of Organic Matter in the Lucaogou Formation in the Junggar Basin, NW China
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the Lucaogou source rocks throughout Well J10025 by conducting detailed petrological, paleontological, and geochemical analyses for the purpose of revealing the occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms as specific hydrocarbon events in the upper Lucaogaou Formation.
