Original design New design As deployed at UTMSI 9/2007-3/2012 Vandalism damage 201211
A new IFCB has been built and was deployed at UTMSI in August 2012
The new design is smaller and lighter and more robust
Deployed “in the can” in pier lab for improved stability.

Early detection of HABs with IFCB
IFCB has provided early warning of 6 HAB events: no illnesses reportedDinophysis ovum in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012Karenia brevis in 2009 and 2011Campbell Lab has implemented automated downloading, processing, and classificationEarly warning email notifications* are sent to TPWD and DSHS within 4 h of sampling if cell counts > 2/mL*not manually verified

Supporting Beach Swimming Advisory Decision Making
Issue:
Exposure to beach swimming waters with elevated bacterial
levels is a public health concern and one of economic vitality.
Goal:
Develop and implement scientifically-justified, decision-support tools
for accurate and defensible preemptive advisory issuance decisions.
Process
:
1.) Data integration and fusion
2.) Ensemble model developmen
t
Who is doing it:
A partnership among beach managers, tourism interests,
public health officials and the general public including…
3.) Model validation
4.) Operational support toolSlide17
