A Significant and Increasing Problem
Almost every state in the U.S. now experiences some kind of HAB event and the number of hypoxic water bodies in the U.S. has increased 30 fold since the 1960s with over 300 coastal systems now impacted. (NCCOS)
The Value of Clean Water
-
30-48 million Americans get their drinking water from regularly contaminated lakes
-
Estimated $4.6 billion in economic cost due to freshwater blooms in the US annually
-
$17 billion is estimated economic cost globally
Dead Zones
-
Extensive fish kills caused by HABs due to over consumption of oxygen, resulting in a "dead zone" where aquatic life can no longer survive.
-
166 dead zones have been identified in the US, the largest being 6,500 square miles in size.
Expensive Not Scalable
-
Standard sensors require several technical personnel a week to deploy​
-
Weighing several hundred pounds, boats and specialized training are required​
-
Extremely high costs make multiple buoys prohibitive
