Invasions of marine communities by seaweeds are increasing globally. Vectors for introductions are primarily aquaculture and the aquarium trade. Attention to these vectors has been minimal, and few, if any, regulations exist to prevent seaweed introductions. Challenges in preventing, eradicating, and controlling invasive seaweeds will be discussed using the invasion of Caulerpa taxifolia in southern California as a model.
