Is there any Caulerpa taxifolia already in the Gulf – or – is any survey work being carried out in the Gulf to identify Caulerpa taxifolia?
The weed has not been found growing in the Gulf. Everyone using the Gulf, whether for recreation or commercial fishing is urged to be vigilant and report a sighting to FISHWATCH on 1800 065 522 with details of the location, date of siting, water depth (if possible), type of siting (while diving, on an anchor chain, from the shore), whether it was isolated or a big patch, and your contact details.
