Caulerpa grape algae

[Squist]

“Nuisance in CA” may be framing this algae a bit lightly.

Assembly Bill No. 1334 prohibits the sale, possession, importation, transportation, transfer, releasing alive in the state, or giving away Caulerpa species.

Caulerpa Species on the West Coast

The genus Caulerpa comprises a group of green algae that can be highly invasive and pose a substantial threat to local marine ecosystems.

Prepared to stand corrected if grape isn’t one of these: taxifolia, cupressoides, mexicana, sertulariodes, floridana, ashmeadii, racemosa, verticillata, and scapelliformis.

For some context: the original post was by a guest looking for caulerpa. "A nuisance in CA," as the guest put it.

The guest deleted the original post. I figured I'd leave the reply and not delete it for anyone interested in AB 1334 and invasive algae.

I think it was moved for them for multiple reasons. Guest trying to buy sell trade. And restricted species.
