Abstract

The use of satellites for monitoring forests is common and well-known practice. However, the operational remote monitoring of water quality from space is still under development. In the United States of America (USA), the use of this type of data is just now being applied to operationally monitor cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs). This powerful tool can be used to generate temporal and spatial assessments of CHABs, however the validation of the retrieved information is still a challenge - especially in tropical and equatorial countries. This commentary discusses the advantages and challenges of current initiatives that use Earth Observation data for managing CHABs such as “Lake Erie’s HAB Bulletin” and “Project CYAN” - both in the USA. Additionally, it was also discussed the application of remote sensing techniques to monitor CHABs in Brazilian inland waters.
