Lost or eradicated? https://www.teaonews.co.nz/2024/06/20/invasive-seaweed-quickly-eliminated-thanks-to-ngati-manuhiri-partnership/ Wow, check out the headline, only due to Ngati Manuhiri and no-one else. Strewth, they'll be funding everything themselves then? It is nice to have a good news story BUT, they have eliminated one clump. The other thing I am unsure of, is if the water visibility has been suitable for a proper search. We are in winter (obviously) and have had nothing but N'East or easterlies, big rain events and absolutely zero settled weather with regard to letting water viz clear. I may be wrong, I haven't been spearfishing myself for some time, so the viz may be better than I realise but I doubt it. The point being, you can't say it's not there just cause you can't see it (when looking in porridge). Being that if you can't see your hand at the end of your arm, how can you see there is no caulerpa? I'd say lost, not eradicated. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
