So far, it has only been seen in a small area and if that is the case, they should be able to eradicate it. It displaces eel grass and could put a serious dent in bay fishing. If you see anything like the image below, then take a picture of it, save the GPS coordinates on your phone and report it to Port of San Diego or https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/In ... s/Caulerpa .
