Dr. Angela Richards Don脿 presents "The Spread of an Invasive Hitchhiking Seaweed to the Main Hawaiian Islands Needn鈥檛 Be Inevitable."
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 Papah膩naumaku膩kea National Marine Sanctuary and is likely to thrive in degraded ecosystems鈥攎aking 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. Don谩 is a post doctoral researcher in the 糖心视频 Manoa Limu Lab.

Co-sponsored by ARCS Foundation Honolulu Chapter, supporting outstanding 糖心视频 doctoral students in STEM and health disciplines for 52 years.
