Resum	Phytoplankton size classification is a fundamental framework for organizing plankton communities and understanding their ecological roles and biogeochemical impacts. Developed by Sieburth, Smetacek, and Lenz in 1978, size classes (pico-, nano-, micro-, macro-phytoplankton) define distinct functional groups with different nutritional requirements, growth rates, grazing vulnerabilities, and sinking rates. Size-based classification enables rapid assessment of plankton community structure and prediction of ecosystem responses to environmental change.	Harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring is an integrated approach combining satellite remote sensing, in situ observations, and predictive modeling to detect, track, and forecast toxic algal outbreaks in marine and freshwater systems. HAB monitoring has become essential for public health protection, as certain algal species produce potent toxins that accumulate in shellfish and pose severe health risks to consumers and marine life.
