“…Early warning systems for Harmful Algal Blooms are critical to human health, particularly for subsistence and recreational harvesters [10], as observed in Alaska. Beyond just commercial shellfish harvest testing, timely risk identification underscores the benefits of forecast programs, contributing to climate resilience, food security and preservation of economic, social, and cultural values [11].…”

Economic tools remain under-used in addressing multiple challenges faced by indigenous communities in the rapidly changing Arctic. While there are multiple explanations for this under-use, perceptions that economic principles diverge from indigenous value systems and are rooted in Western paradigms limit the uptake of these tools to bolster resilience in the face of climate change. Nevertheless, Indigenous communities are expected to integrate their traditional systems with the historically imposed colonial systems of resource extraction to sustain their economies and community wellbeing that are challenged by environmental shifts and socioecological transitions. These changes manifest in resource use, availability and management and affect the ways Indigenous knowledge has traditionally guided resource exploitation decisions and practices. Using select examples, this paper argues that economic approaches to the management of marine resources have the potential to improve the well-being and resilience of indigenous Arctic communities. While more work is needed to tailor economic tools to the specific needs of indigenous people, the integration of resource economics and traditional approaches to resource management holds promise for strengthening Indigenous resilience in the face of the profound challenges posed by climate change.

“…El florecimiento de algas y el aumento de los niveles de toxinas provocarán cierres de la recolección de mariscos, que a veces durarán temporadas enteras. Aunque estos impactos afectarán a los cazadores y pescadores recreativos, los impacos serán mayores para los hogares y comunidades que dependen nutricionalmente de estos recursos, como las comunidades tribales y los hogares que dependen de dietas de sustento 393 .…”

“…The severity of symptoms is largely dependent on the species, type of toxin and concentration level, as well as the route and media of exposure (Svirčev et al, 2022). At the socio-economic level, HABs can cause noxious odors and unsightly views, recreational closures, pet sickness, and deteriorated aquatic conditions for organismal survival and ecosystem productivity (Carmichael and Boyer, 2016;Kourantidou et al, 2022).…”

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have garnered increasing attention due to their adverse effects on water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and animal and human health. Prior research suggests that HAB-contaminated water containing toxins can significantly affect the development of plant structures and inhibit essential physiological processes. However, the potential benefits and risks of using HAB-contaminated water sourced from local water bodies for agricultural irrigation is not completely understood. This perspective paper delves into the origins and impacts of HABs, the environmental and agricultural repercussions of their use in irrigation, and management strategies to mitigate associated risks of HAB-contaminated water in sustainable agriculture. Future studies are needed to validate the practical benefits of HABs in agricultural irrigation for the enhancement of soil health and overall crop growth and productivity.
