Good TV show about aquarium plant released into the wild
Hardy and decorative, Caulerpa seemed a blessing at first, and it soon
became the most popular aquarium plant on Earth. The Monaco Oceanographic Museum obtained a sample, and it was in the harbor just beneath this institution-where famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau was the director at the time-that Caulerpa was first spotted getting a toehold in nature. The killer algae have been spreading ever since. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/algae/ Jocko |

Hydrilla could also be called this if someone tried to swim through a thicket, or from West Nile virus habitat vectors(mosquitos etc). 443 milion pounds of seafood was taken in and around CA 2001, prevention is the best method they have at control. http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwqcb9/progr.../caulerpa.html Regards, Tom Barr |
