INCURSION OF SARGASSUM AND OTHER INVASIVE SPECIES

Professional marine and wildlife biologists from California-based firm QK discuss the incursion of S. horneri and other invasive marine species on our coast. Attendees will learn about several invasive species and their effects on native ecosystems. Biologist Jeffrey Erway will discuss how divers can identify and report invasive species, what to do with them, and what measures are underway to protect native ones.

QK’s presenters are backed by significant industry credentials, including California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) approval with scientific diving experience and credentials.
