Toxic algae, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St. Lawrence System

The data we use to describe the risk of toxic algae come from an expert based map delineating the areas where coastal areas are at risk from five different toxins. The map presents coastal areas at risk from: 1) paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins from the regular presence of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella (previously Alexandrium tamarense) at high concentrations, 2) amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) toxins from domoic acid 3) diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins, 4) spirolides and 5) pectenotoxins, two toxins produced by dinoflagellates occurring in the St. Lawrence.

It is possible to consult the scientific report of the eDrivers project: Characterizing Exposure to and Sharing Knowledge of Drivers of Environmental Change in the St. Lawrence System in Canada and the additional data. It is possible to consult the application eDrivers.
