MARINE NIGHT - Victoria Natural History Society
The invasive intertidal cordgrass Spartina spp. – Are we on the path to coast wide eradication?
Spartina species have invaded intertidal habitats from California to British Columbia. They convert intertidal mudflats, important nursing habitat for fish and crustaceans, into monophyletic stands of Spartina, changing the waterflow and topography of this habitat. Dr. Matthias Herborg will explain the impacts of these plants, and how a coordinated eradication effort along the West Coast is dramatically reducing these invaders.
