One example of such a species, an invasive species, is “killer algae” or the Mediterranean strain of Caulerpa taxifolia. This fact sheet explains the origin of “killer algae,” the changes it has wrought, what it looks like, how it invades so successfully, and what each of us can do about preventing an invasion in Florida.

However, a few have proven to be highly invasive and have caused significant environmental problems, obstructing waterways, restricting water flow, degrading water quality, and interfering with fishing and recreation. This publication contains about invasive species that are not native to the United States, but have entered as contaminants among other plants or as intentional introductions.

Early detection and treatment will minimize efforts and costs that come with treating well-established plants or full-blown infestations. Much more effort is required for successful eradication of established infestations, but it``can still be accomplished with proper treatments described here.
