Summary Introduction

To determine: The name of two groups of protists which are known to cause HABs in marine ecosystems.

Introduction: Protists are single-celled eukaryotic organisms consisting of protozoa, unicellular algae, and slime molds. Marine ecosystems such as salt marshes, intertidal zones, estuaries, lagoons, mangroves, and coral reefs consist of a rich source of nutrients and salt which is required for the growth of microorganisms.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The hazards posed by HABs for other marine organisms and humans.
