An invasive algae species, Caulerpa prolifera, is a popular and common saltwater aquarium plant. It is bright green and consists of several blades linked by underground runners, which attach to the seafloor with small root-like structures and could potentially be harmful to native species.
A removal effort is designed to eradicate an invasive algae species identified in Newport Bay in March 2021.
