The CyanoBox project aims to develop an innovative, remote system that can perform in-situ continuous monitoring of the quality of cyanobacterial contaminated water in urban, rural, and isolated sites. It will provide an autonomous, affordable, and reliable monitoring tool for cyano-HABs so that local communities can obtain an early warning on the toxicity of a developing bloom and take all necessary actions to mitigate its effects with limited resources and funding. CyanoBox combines development of novel cyanotoxin biosensors and assays, mechanical/electrical hardware and software development, system integration, and field validation
