Finally, to provide specific written interpretation of all data types that combined will provide the best possible forecast of Washington coast HAB events. This is a very specific field of scientific inquiry that requires specialized knowledge, skills and abilities.

Her expertise should dramatically reduce the amount of time, and increase the quality of effort, needed to perform the requested task.
