Overview

The One Health Harmful Algal Bloom System (OHHABS) is a CDC surveillance system launched in 2016. State and territorial health departments and their designated environmental health or animal health partners can voluntarily report data to OHHABS.

Data collected through OHHABS can help CDC and partners better understand harmful algal blooms and prevent associated human and animal illnesses.

OHHABS collects data on:

  • Human illnesses
  • Animal illnesses
  • Harmful algal bloom events occurring in fresh, brackish, or saltwaters
