Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 360 pages. ex-library Two decades ago, a Stuttgart zoo imported a lush, bright green seaweed for it s aquarium. Caulerpa taxifolia was captively bred by the zoo and exposed, for ye ars, to chemicals and ultraviolet light. Eventually a sample of it found its way to the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, then headed by Jacques Cousteau. Fifteen years ago, while cleaning its tanks, that museum dumped the pretty green plant into the Mediterranean.This supposedly benign little plant?that no one thought could survive the waters of the Mediterranean?has now become a pernici ous force. Caulerpa taxifolia now covers 10,000 acres of the coasts of France, S pain, Italy, and Croatia, and has devastated the Mediterranean ecosystem. And it continues to grow, unstoppable and toxic. When Alexandre Meinesz, a professor o f biology at the University of Nice, discovered a square-yard patch of it in 198 4, he warned biologists and oceanographers of the potential species invasion. Hi s calls went unheeded. At that point, one person could have pulled the small pat ch out and ended the problem. Now, however, the plant has defeated the French Na vy, thwarted scientific efforts to halt its rampage, and continues its destructi ve journey into the Adriatic Sea.Killer Algae is the biological and polit ical horror story of this invasion. For despite Meinesz's pleas to scientists an d the French government, no agency was willing to take responsibility for the se aweed, and while the buck was passed, the killer algae grew. And through it all, the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco sought to exculpate itself. In short, Killer Algae?part detective story and part bureaucratic object lesson?is a classic case of a devastating ecological invasion and how not to deal with it.[.…
