Infographics, Videos, and Photos
These sample infographics and videos are examples for our partners in other federal agencies and in state, territorial, Tribal, and local governments to help educate the public about the potential dangers of HABs in both marine and freshwaters. Some of the videos were created by citizens or high school students as part of past EPA’s HAB challenges. Although, infographics were created by the EPA any partners are welcome to customize the bottom of the infographics by adding local information such as a logo, website address, email address and/or telephone number. Other communication resources are included in the Managing HABs section of the website.
