Overview
Data collected through the One Health Harmful Algal Bloom System (OHHABS) helps CDC and partners better understand harmful algal blooms and prevent associated human and animal illnesses.
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.
OHHABS collects data on:
- Human illnesses
- Animal illnesses
- Harmful algal bloom events that occur in fresh, brackish, or salt waters
