This Integrated Report compiles information on occurrences of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the Northwest Pacific region and introduces HAB monitoring systems in each NOWPAP member state.
From 2009 to 2010, case study areas were selected from the areas in which HAB occurrences were serious in each member state, and information on HAB occurrences and monitoring systems in those areas was collected to prepare national case study reports.
Then, the Integrated Report on Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) for the NOWPAP Region, compilation of the four national case study reports, was developed in 2011.

The objectives of Booklet of Countermeasures against HABs in the NOWPAP Region are to provide and share information on countermeasures against HABs implemented in the NOWPAP member states and to contribute to establishing policies and measures against HABs among stakeholders and related agencies.
We expect that this booklet is used to learn advantages and disadvantages of mitigation activities and to invent better methods and applications in order to terminate and mitigate HABs.

The objectives of HAB Case Studies are to establish the most effective and laborsaving ways for sharing information among the NOWPAP member states about HAB occurrence, oceanographic and meteorological condition and nutrients in selected areas for HAB Case Studies. Each member state collected HAB-related information and made HAB Case Studies Reports.

CEARAC developed the procedures for assessment of eutrophication status including evaluation of land-based sources of nutrients for the NOWPAP region in order to assess the status and impacts of eutrophication in its respective sea area.
To share the information on the activities and measures implemented in the NOWPAP member states, we organized Coastal Environmental Assessment Workshop twice.
