Caulerpa taxifolia in eastern Australia

September 10, 2000
From: Alan Millar

Dear Bill,
I note you already have some discussion on the invasive algal pest Caulerpa taxifolia on the Sea Slug Forum. I would be grateful if you could publicise the discovery of populations in New South Wales, eastern Australia.

If possible we would like to try and control its spread. If any divers in eastern Australia find a seaweed that looks like this could they have a look at the information page I have provided and contact me.

Thanks for your help,
Alan Millar
