Interesting article about invasive species

It's about all the invasive exotics that have taken over the Bay Area. Pretty interesting, and seems like there must be a way reefkeepers could get involved with this. There seems to be a great need just for testing the water and doing basic research.

Honeybees, along with most of the crops they pollenate are introduced, but not invasive by most definitions.

Greenbean...

go read ALL of sams posts... He is nothing more than a TROLL. He posts what he feels are witty retorts or insults to belittle people or their education. I don't think the guy has actually ever contributed to any thread, other than to insult people or drop a moronic one liner in an attempt to get a response. My bet is that hey does not even have a fish tank.

The better question sam, is... who cares what YOU think?

Sam your post history speaks for itself. It is not what I think, your actions are very straight forward. You post in a childish manner and do NOTHING but insult people and attempt to stir up controversy. I am just an RC user, but for one I get tired of it, as I am sure just about everybody else does. Sam, I don't care what you think but I do care that you pollute otherwise good conversation with your childish remarks and insults.

Thats funny

Spartina grass has been dying off over here on the east coast for several years. Last time I looked we could barely get it to grow and bald spots were appearing in the marsh. They are wiping it out over there as a nuisance lol.
