It’s Our Nature to Know Webinar: Monitoring Algal Blooms in Alberta’s Lakes: Introducing Algalbloomtracker.ca and the Science Behind It

Officially launched on August 12, 2026, algalbloomtracker.ca is a free and user-friendly online harmful algal bloom (HAB) tracker dedicated to monitoring Alberta lakes. Cyanobacteria outbreaks can have serious impacts on Alberta’s environment, tourism and recreation industries, human and pet health, and the broader economy. Funded by Alberta Innovates and Alberta Primary and Preventative Health Services and developed through a pilot project with twelve provincial partners this comprehensive tool enables users to visualize and track harmful algal blooms in near real time in six popular recreational lakes—Ethel Lake, Lac La Biche, Sylvan Lake, ...

Benthic Harmful Cyanobacteria Bloom (HCB-2) Training

Strategies for Preventing and Managing Harmful Cyanobacteria Blooms (Two Part Series) The Harmful Cyanobacteria Blooms (HCBs) training reviews key information found in the two ITRC HCB Guidance Documents, the 2021 Strategies for Preventing and Managing Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms (HCB-1) and the 2022 companion document focused on benthic HCBs (HCB-2). ITRC's HCB-2 focuses on the ecology, toxin production, management, and mitigation of benthic HCBs and is a companion document to the HCB-1 document released by ITRC in March 2021. Cyanobacteria are microscopic, photosynthetic organisms that can be found naturally in all aquatic systems. Under ...
