On September 1, 2021 NCCOS, the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System Office, and the IOOS Association organized the inaugural meeting of a newly formed Harmful Algal Bloom Observing Group. The HAB-OG is a next step in implementing and sustaining the National Harmful Algal Bloom Observing Network.

The HAB-OG is designed to be an informal community-based coalition aimed at bolstering scientific collaboration and information/resource sharing for HAB observing system operators, data users and stakeholders, technology manufacturers, academia, and government agencies.
