Background
The Partnership for Observation of the Global Oceans,
POGO, is a forum created in 1999 by directors and leaders of
major oceanographic institutions around the world to promote
global oceanography by way of oceanographic observations,
scientific research, operational services, education and training.
POGO has 38 member institutes, including several consortia,
from 19 different countries, and works closely with other
international and regional programmes and organisations. It is
located at Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Prospect Place
Plymouth, PL1 3DH, United Kingdom.
The Nippon Foundation (NF) and the Partnership for
Observation of the Global Oceans (POGO) have been
supporting capacity building activities, especially, training
oceanographers in developing countries. NANO (or NF-POGO
Alumni Network for Oceans) is a global network of past and
present NF-POGO scholars who have been part of its capacity
building efforts. The vision for the Network is "Integrated
Observations of a Changing Ocean". NANO regional research
projects started in 2012 under NF-POGO, towards enhancing
collaborative activities among NANO alumni. NANO regional
project for India and Sri Lanka for the year 2015 is titled “Study
of Harmful Algal Blooms and other Aspects of Sardine Habitats
around the Indian Sub-continent (SHABASHI)”. The leader of
the SHABASHI project is Dr. Ravidas Naik, from NCAOR, Goa. Dr.
Nandini Menon, Scientist, Nansen Environmental Research
Centre India (NERCI) is the co-leader and is organizing the
training programme along with Dr. A.K. Nazar, Scientist- in-
Charge, CMFRI, Mandapam.
About the course
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and their related
consequences on fisheries and human health are a global
concern. This alerts maritime countries to adopt regular
monitoring programmes in their territorial waters. Harmful
algal bloom is a topic of high societal relevance from a number
of perspectives. The harmful effects from algae can take many
forms: in the first instance, blooms of phytoplankton, even of
the non-toxic type, can consume and deplete oxygen in the
water when they decay, causing unfavourable conditions for
higher organisms in the water. The implications for the marine
ecosystem and for commercially-important fish and shell fish
can be high: anoxic conditions in the water may lead to mass
mortality of fish and shell fish, adversely affecting the livelihood
of fishermen who depend on it, and also negatively impacting
tourist activities in the neighboring beach areas. When the
bloom-forming algae are also carriers of toxin, higher organisms
in general and shell fish in particular, will accumulate the toxins
in their tissues, often in concentrations higher than in the
environment, through a process known as bio-accumulation. As
part of the SAHABASHI project, it is found essential that all the
project participants follow the same sampling and analytical
protocols for measurement of the various components
identified in the project. The training programme was planned
to accommodate the project partners alone, but any NANO
alumnus desirous of attending the training would be
considered, subject to availability of local hospitality facilities at
Mandapam.
Course content
The focus of the training course is to provide an
understanding of the protocols in the measurements and
analyses of different bloom characteristics. The Course will
cover the broad topics
. Classical Phytoplankton Taxonomy
. HAB taxonomy
. HAB toxin and pigment analysis using HPLC
. Collection and analysis of HAB toxin using SPATT bag
. Measurement of bio-optical properties of HAB
Faculty
Faculty for the course consists of scientists/experts
from reputed institutions like Indian space research
Organization (ISRO), National Centre for Antarctic Ocean
Research (NCAOR), Central Institute of Fisheries Technology
(CIFT) and Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI).
