The first International Conference on Harmful Algaewas held in 1974 in Boston Massachusetts, USA. Sincethen, eight more conferences have been held: Miami,Florida, USA (1978); New Brunswick, Canada (1985);Lund, Sweden (1989); Newport, Rhode Island, USA(1991); Nantes, France (1993); Sendai, Japan (1995);Vigo, Spain (1997); and Hobart, Tasmania (2000).
The Xth International Conference on HarmfulAlgae (XHAB2002) was held in St. Pete Beach, Florida,October 21 to 25, 2002. The Local Organizing Com-mittee planned the meeting and obtained financialsupport for conference activities, including travel awardfunds. XHAB2002 was able to support 24 USA and in-ternational students with amounts from 500 to 1500USD per student and an additional 20 internationalparticipants with amounts from 1000 to 3200 USD perperson. Travel awards helped increase the geographicdiversity of presentations. The 629 printed abstractsrepresented 48 countries. Prior to the Vigo, Spain, con-ference in 1997, the highest number of presentations,including oral and poster, was less then 250. However,since 1997, the number of presentations has steadilyincreased.
Understandably, almost half of the presentations atXHAB2002 represented the USA because the confer-ence was held in Florida. Florida is the most southernstate in the USA and is unique in its diversity of aquaticand terrestrial wildlife and plants. Florida is home toalligators, crocodiles, eagles, osprey, panthers, mana-tees, marine turtles, gopher tortoises, rare orchids,venus fly traps, a living coral reef and other organismssuch as harmful algae. Of the known harmful micro-algae, Florida has more than 45 marine species and 15freshwater species. It also has macroalgal blooms thatcan affect marine communities.
The west coast of Florida was an appropriate venuefor a HAB conference because of its extensive historyof red tides that occur almost annually and can besomewhere off the Florida west coast continously for-several months to two years. Here in Florida, the effectsof microalgal blooms include seawater discoloration,offshore and inshore fish kills, bird and marine mam-mal mortalities, respiratory irritation in humans, andeconomic losses in the millions to local coastal com-munities. As with many HABs, microalgal toxins canbe associated with shellfish such as oysters and clams,
and these sources of toxicity can cause public healthconcerns. The state of Florida has a multi-agencycooperative program to monitor and manage shell-fish-growing areas and other potentially toxic seafood.At XHAB2002, attendees learned about Florida redtides and HABs around the world. This Proceedingsrepresents a cross section of the presentations anddemonstrates the diversity of the topics discussed. Pre-sentations on dinoflagellates dominated XHAB2002,but cyanobacteria, diatoms, flagellates and chryso-phytes were also well represented.
Members of the International Committee servedas session chairs during the meeting and both Nationaland International Committee members served asreviewers for the Proceedings manuscripts. The Orga-nizing Committee and the editors of this Proceedingsthank all of our colleagues for their presentationswhich made the meeting a success. A special thanks goesto John Cooksey, our conference manager, and histeam for ensuring that the meeting ran smoothly. TheOrganizing Committee also acknowledges the contri-butions of three other people. We thank Dr. Bob Steeleof the Poynter Institute, for moderating the PfiesteriaPanel Discussion; Dr. David Millie for being such agreat Program Manager and organizing all the oral andposter presentations; and Dr. Harry Grier for takingexceptional photographs of the conference and itsattendees.
Of the 629 abstracts representing oral and posterpresentation, 180 are presented as condensed papers inthis Proceedings. Of the 10 roundtable and special ses-sions, several are represented as summaries or asindividual papers within the session.
In addition to this Proceedings, the InternationalSociety for the Study of Harmful Algae (ISSHA) hasmade a commitment to help develop a world widemap of harmful algae events that will be available onwebsites and possibly as a CD. Also, beginning with theXII HAB conference in 2006 in Copenhagen, Den-mark, which will be hosted by Øjvind Moestrup ofthe University of Copenhagen and a Scandinavianconsortium, ISSHA (along with the local organizingcommittee) will help in the production of the pro-ceedings of future international HAB meetings.
