The development of inexpensive, handheld devices is expected to provide marine scientists with a way to identify emerging "red tide" hot spots and allow for targeted closures of shellfish harvests focusing only on impacted beds. Earlier this month, scientists at the University of Maine were awarded $201,187 for the first year of an anticipated three-year $574,028 project to investigate methods that would provide early warning detection of toxic Alexandrium blooms in the Gulf of Maine.
