on the science channel but just finished.

it will air again friday 1 am on channel 191 (time warner).

basically, it talks about the horrific invasive nature of this in the Mediterranean.

then it goes and talks about taxofolia popping up in southern california. they said the source was possibly from a guy cleaning out his aquarium and having a few fragments escaping into the storm drain system...as the infestation was near a storm drain.

the way they eradicated (as mentioned it from the documentary) was to use chlorine to kill it. 'they' knew that it would kill a whole lot more than just the caulerpa but felt it was worth it due to the horrific results witnessed in europe.
 
I like how they blamed Jaque Cousteau for the mediteranian infestation. At least for the infestation, not the creation of the algae itself. That was some place in Germany.
