Harmful Algal Bloom Disaster Relief Act

The Harmful Algal Bloom Disaster Relief Act allows the President to declare a major disaster when algal blooms cause significant damage, enabling federal assistance. • Local ecosystems may benefit from federal support to address the impacts of harmful algal blooms. • Communities could receive resources for cleanup and recovery efforts, potentially improving public health and safety. • Economic activities, such as tourism and fishing, may be less affected if federal assistance is available to mitigate damage. • Local governments could gain access to funding for long-term solutions to prevent future algal bloom incidents.
