Özet

Overgrowths of algae in water are known as algal blooms. Some blooms harm human and animal health, the environment, and local economies by producing harmful toxins in fresh or saltwater. Marine mammals are the sentinel species for the oceans’ health. Marine algal toxins caused by harmful algal blooms (HABs) are listed as one of the reasons for marine mammal deaths all around the globe. It is important to understand the eect of algal biotoxins on marine life and develop multidisciplinary solutions. From the veterinary point of view, it is necessary to have sustainable data to better understand the algal bloom events, their eects, and evidence in marine mammals. Therefore, bycatch and stranding networks have great importance for the countries, especially for the ones that have not established them yet. This study aims to provide an overview of marine mammal interactions with algal blooms, current methods to understand, predict and prevent harmful algal blooms, and present an insight into the use of algal biotechnology, shared environmental information systems, and monitoring mechanisms for marine mammal protection strategies of the states from the one health perspective
