Global HAB Status Report: Ciguatera

UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission launched a Global HAB Status Report (GHSR) on 8 June 2021. This unprecedented seven-year study by 109 scientists in 35 countries says reported HAB events have increased in some regions, decreased or held steady elsewhere, and provides the world's first baseline against which to track future changes. Here we present a GHSR synthesis and regional overviews of HAB occurrences and trends from 1985 to 2018.
