Workshop report on taxonomy and identification of HAB species and data management...149 Foreword This publication by PICES Working Group 15 brings together reviews of the state of knowledge of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the six PICES member countries of the North Pacific (Canada, Japan, People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, Russia and the United States of America) plus Mexico, up to 2001. Both HABs harming humans due to the consumption of contaminated marine products and those harming marine life are involved; both have major economic and social impacts. The reports summarize the impacts and provide insights into the understanding of the ecology of HABs in northern Pacific countries. All nations report severe HAB problems, often due to the same species of algae. These problems appear to be chronic in some countries, and worsening in others; the severity of HABs will likely continue into the foreseeable future. The need and potential value of co-operation in this and other similarly-affected regions is emphasized in this report. 1 2 Background and objectives This report constitutes the first publication of activities of WG 15 are summarized in 2000-2001 PICES Working Group 15 (WG 15) on Ecology of Annual reports (Appendix C) and in Workshop harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the North Pacific. report on Taxonomy and identification of HAB PICES, the intergovernmental North Pacific species and data management (Appendix D).

Its goals are to promote the exchange scale, termed GEOHAB. At present most of the of information and cooperation between the activity has been at the national level, most PICES member countries to assist in coping with notably ECOHAB in the United States, but with HABs. A similar working group has been in national programs formed or forming in several existence under various guises in ICES for more other PICES member countries. than a decade, the North Atlantic being similarly afflicted with various types of HABs, including Our goal in preparing this report has been to most of those mentioned here. provide a useful and practical guide to HAB- related problems, literature and related The membership and terms of reference for research/monitoring efforts in northern Pacific WG 15 are shown in Appendices A and B. As a nations. For example, the literature relating to first priority, the Working Group agreed that the each country deliberately includes obscure local state of knowledge on HABs and their impacts in literature that might otherwise be missed by each of the member countries needed to be outsiders. The national reports provide a basis for reviewed to serve as a baseline for determination future annual incident updates similar to those of of regional needs. Other goals were to encourage the ICES working group. The activities of WG 15 regional communications, collaborative studies, have also brought to light discrepancies in standardization of methodologies, data sharing approach and methodologies in the reporting and and, possibly, training initiatives.

Although there are coastlines such as Canada, Russia or the United some differences in detail among PICES member States. countries, this work has emphasized that all PICES countries suffer from common problems and This commonality should help to unite HAB challenges due to HABs. In many ways, HABs researchers in PICES nations in the future, have created a bridge of understanding among motivating many international collaborative efforts nations that share bodies of water and coastlines. that strive to better understand the ecology and These nations are, in fact, more similar to one oceanography of North Pacific and global HABs. another than a single nation with multi-ocean F.J.R. “Max” Taylor and Vera L.

In the past five decades, coastal groundwater salinization in the 13 Yang-Dai River plain has become increasingly serious under the influence of anthropogenic activities and 14 climatic change. It is pivotal for the scientific management of coastal water resources to accurately 15 understand groundwater salinization processes and their causative factors. Hydrochemical (major ion and 16 trace element) and stable isotopic (δ18O and δ2H) analysis of different water bodies (surface water, 17 groundwater, geothermal water, and seawater) were conducted to improve understanding of groundwater 18 salinization processes in the plain’s Quaternary aquifer. Saltwater intrusion due to intensive groundwater 19 pumping is a major process, either by vertical infiltration along riverbeds which convey saline surface 20 water inland, and/or direct subsurface lateral inflow. Trends in salinity with depth indicate that the former 21 may be more important than previously assumed.
