Phytoplankton Monitoring
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Government of Canada administers the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program (CSSP) to protect public health by routinely monitoring water quality in shellfish harvesting areas and toxin levels in shellfish.
Description
Some areas may be closed due to the presence of natural biotoxins produced by tiny marine organisms. The most significant of these toxins are those that are responsible for producing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins.
PSP develops from toxins derived from tiny planktonic organisms called dinoflagellates. Shellfish are filter feeders that accumulate these toxic dinoflagellates in their systems through feeding. While the shellfish do not appear to have obvious visible ill effects, humans who ingest these shellfish may be at risk.
