There's a large number of invasive species in NZ that could have been eradicated, had decisive action been taken early on to remove the infestation, including a number of marine plants, so I'm glad to hear in this case we are making the effort and trying to eliminate this pest outright.

 

Pretty impressive for Stabicraft that a 300 kg dolphin can crash land in the boat and not damage anything.

 

It sounds like there are options for controlling this weed, the question I have is, why don't we bite the bullet and eliminate it completely? It's something that's been done successfully before with aquatic plants, so why not here? Why wait for it to spread?
