- Voice of the Sea (VOS) Ciguatera Poisoning: We’re learning about ciguatera poisoning, the seafood illness that comes from toxins produced by microscopic algae in warm, nearshore waters. Researchers in Hawaiʻi are studying these tiny algae, known as dinoflagellates, to better understand where they are most abundant and which species are producing toxins — with the goal of helping people eat safe seafood. We hear about what it’s like to get ciguatera poisoning, why toxins accumulate, and how to avoid getting sick. And, we learn about the Pacific Ciguatera Network research collaborations in American Samoa and the Marshall Islands.
