Exotic caulerpa map now live

An interactive map designed to help anyone interested in exotic caulerpa efforts to see where surveillance has taken place, and where caulerpa has or has not been found, is now live.  

The viewer includes surveillance findings from mana whenua, community groups, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), Northland Regional Council, Waikato Regional Council, Auckland Council, NIWA, the Department of Conservation and others. 

The exotic caulerpa community viewer was developed by Auckland Council with funding from MPI and is available through marinepests.nz by using this link. It is intended to continue as a project with everyone feeding in their data to see the whole picture.
