Background
Background
The SWAMP FHAB Program, in partnership with the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Yurok Tribe, and San Luis Rey Indian Water Authority, will offer a Tribally-centered Freshwater & Estuarine Harmful Algal Bloom (FHAB) Training Series in 2026.
The purpose of this training series is to support California Native American Tribes in developing programs in the areas of FHAB monitoring, data analysis, and data use processes, and enable Tribes and FHAB monitoring groups to adopt these practices into their workflows and more easily partner with the SWAMP FHAB Program and California Cyanobacteria and Harmful Algal Bloom (CCHAB) Network.
The partnership between the Program and California Tribes was critical to ensuring the training materials and content were tailored to broad and diverse audiences. Recordings and relevant materials for each training will be provided below within 1 week of each session.
