Introduction

Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Watch is a listing of HAB events as reported by the community, state program volunteers, official offices, from historical events, or by other MERHAB projects.

Our goal is to facilitate, improve, and inform: to facilitate current monitoring volunteers that weekly visit the California shorelines to protect the community, fisheries, and ecology; to improve the body of knowledge of HABs by using latest metrics, data visualization, and other technologies; and to inform the public to reduce human exposure to HABs.

Installation

After installing the aforementioned dependencies, you will need to download a copy of habwatch into a directory, or for development:

> git clone git://github.com/ibolmo/habwatch.git habwatch; cd habwatch
> git submodule update --init
> cd web/css/blueprintcss
> git submodule update --init

// Summary: clone the latest habwatch and update (init) the submodules used in habwatch as well as the blueprintcss submodules.

Lastly, modify app.sample.php to reflect your configuration:

> mv ./config/app.sample.php ./config/app.php; vim ./config/app.php
