Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into innovative technologies and methodologies for detecting and mitigating harmful cyanobacterial blooms. With increasing global concern about the ecological and public health impacts of harmful cyanobacterial blooms, advanced tools are necessary to address this environmental threat. The Special Issue will highlight the integration of smart systems like IoT sensors and satellite-based remote sensing for real-time monitoring, offering precise, large-scale insights into bloom dynamics. Moreover, AI and machine learning are revolutionizing predictive models, enhancing bloom forecasting and detection efficiency.
The scope also includes emerging flow-through systems, which enable continuous water quality monitoring and rapid intervention. Additionally, attention will be given to advanced treatment solutions like advanced oxidation, and bioremediation techniques designed to eliminate cyanotoxins effectively. Contributions from researchers developing automated, high-precision systems for early detection, response, and treatment are encouraged.
This Special Issue aims to foster multidisciplinary dialogue between environmental scientists, engineers, and data scientists, seeking to bridge technology and ecology in combating harmful cyanobacterial blooms. By focusing on these novel detection and treatment options, the Special Issue offers a comprehensive perspective on the future of cyanobacterial bloom management.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Toxins is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
