Harmful Marine Phytoplankton

Dear Colleagues,

During the last few decades, harmful marine phytoplankton has received significant attention from the scientific community. The consensus is that bloom events are increasing in frequency and practically every coastal region in the world is affected. Increasing our knowledge about the causative species, the toxins they produce and the impact they have on the marine environment is a huge task and in this Special Issue we will publish high quality papers regarding all aspects of harmful marine microalgae, also including toxin producing cyanobacteria.

We cordially invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue of Marine Drugs, and we look very much forward to your input.
