Description: Caulerpa taxifolia, once a harmless aquarium plant, is carpeting the Mediterranean, choking out all other aquatic plants.
"Once in a while a single example has the power to focus public attention on a serious problem, and this is one of them. The story, told vividly by Alexandre Meinesz and made available in English by Daniel Simberloff's translation, reads like a science-fiction horror story. It calls our attention to the growing worldwide problem of invasive species, the stealth destroyers of the environment."—Edward O. Wilson
