Impacts on Human Health Potentially Caused by Exposure to an Unprecedented spp Bloom in the Bay of Biscay, French Basque Coast.

Introduction: In recent years, climate change and human activity have modified marine biotopes, including the widening distribution of harmful algal blooms (HABs). Bloom events predominated by microalgae of the genus have been described on the French Mediterranean coast, but in 2021 an unprecedented bloom occurred on the French Basque coast. The objective of this study is to describe the health impact of the spp bloom that occurred on the French Basque coast in 2021.
