Our review indicates that no state agency is doing all they should to tackle these outbreaks, so we’ve also provided this link to ask your governor to do more. With this map, you can see whether your favorite lake or river has suffered from HABs and learn what your state is doing to address this problem. In response, NRDC put together a national database based on state-reported HAB outbreaks over the last 12 years. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not even have a national HABs tracking and reporting system so that people can see if their favorite waterway poses a danger, despite HAB outbreaks occurring in all 50 states. HABs are also a growing problem globally and one which the United States is woefully behind in tackling. HABs pose serious human health risks, kill pets and other animals that ingest them, harm aquatic ecosystems, contaminate drinking water, and prevent the use of rivers and lakes for swimming, boating, and other uses. Harmful algal blooms, or HABs, are not just smelly and gross-looking.
