Coastkeeper joins effort in Newport Bay against invasive algae

Orange County Coastkeeper is participating in surveying and eradicating the invasive algae called Caulerpa prolifera in Newport Bay. The algae, which is native to Florida and other subtropical and tropical locales, is scientifically known as Caulerpa prolifera. It can grow quickly and spread easily, choking out native seaweeds and potentially harming marine life through lost habitat. The removal effort is being led by Merkel & Associates and Marine Taxonomic Services, and began in early July in Newport Bay’s China Cove, next to the Kerckhoff Marine Laboratory. Removal involves a diver-assisted suction and divers in the water surveying the area and removing loose pieces and fragments. Coastkeeper is conducting dive surveys and monitoring in the surrounding coves just north of where the invasive species was first detected.
