NOAA and FDA are collaborating on a Pilot-PSP Dockside Monitoring Study in order to determine a protocol to allow shellfish harvesting in the currently closed area while protecting human health. In addition, NOAA is funding a large regional study, GOMTOX to establish a comprehensive regional-scale understanding of Alexandrium bloom dynamics, transport, and associated shellfish toxicity.
