12th International Conference on Harmful Algae
4-8 September 2006
DGI-byen Conference Center, Copenhagen, Denmark

The impact of harmful algae has grown with the increasing use of coastal waters for commercial and recreational purposes and the increased need for clean drinking water caused by the world's growing population. The conference aims at addressing all aspects related to causes and effects of marine and freshwater harmful microalgae, and to serve as a forum for exchange of new research results and ideas among researchers, industry, government and local users, and other interested parties.
