Unwanted But Not Unstoppable
The Spread of an Invasive Hitchhiking Seaweed to the Main Hawaiian Islands Needn't Be Inevitable
Featuring Dr. Angela Richards Donà
Pupus from 5:30 p.m., Zoom room opens at 5:45; Talk begins at 6 p.m.
Marine invasive species are already a great biosecurity issue in the Main Hawaiian Islands. The recently identified but rapidly spreading Chondria tumulosa could be a game changer.
This fast-growing alga is smothering native limu and coral in the Papahānaumakuākea National Marine Sanctuary and is likely to thrive in degraded ecosystems, making our damaged reefs vulnerable.
Learn more about how (and where!) the Limu Lab team is working to prevent this catastrophe, why the science matters, and who may be our unlikely allies in this endeavor.
Dr. Angela Richards Donà is a postdoctoral fellow in the UH Mānoa Limu Lab and 2019 graduate of the Marine Biology Graduate Program.
