Management of Ostreopsis blooms in recreational waters along the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean Sea): cooperation between a research project and a monitoring program

As shown in this report, the integration of a research project with a monitoring program improves the detection and management of Ostreopsis blooms in Catalonia. The research project benefits from information previously obtained from several localities by the monitoring program, which in turn profits from the specific findings and conclusions contributed by the research project.
