2000年6月12日，在加州的阿瓜赫迪昂达泻湖发现了一种入侵性的海洋植物--杉叶蕨藻。由于在地中海有15年的传播历史，C. 1999年，紫杉叶已被列入美国联邦有害杂草名单。对这一威胁的认识极大地促进了许多州、联邦和地方机构以及私人团体和非政府组织（非政府组织）之间建立共识和制定明确的根除目标，这些组织成为"南加州蕨草行动小组"（SCCAT）。现场控制和处理在发现后17天开始，原因是：（1）及时识别和通知虫害;（2）圣地亚哥地区水质控制委员会的积极工作人员认为这次入侵相当于“漏油”，从而释放了紧急资金;（3）动员已经在现场工作的潜水员。这种快速反应的三个良好整合的组成部分产生了有效的根除计划：（a）关于C生物学的专业知识和知识。taxifolia;（B）有关受影响地点的用途、"拥有权"及特点的知识;（c）在进行清除水生植物工作方面的知识及经验。加上必要的资源（每年约120万美元），这种方法已经导致了遏制，治疗和根除C的良好进展。杉叶对其他水生入侵物种的成功快速反应将需要类似的行动准备，并立即获得足够的资金。
The invasive marine alga Caulerpa taxifolia was discovered June 12, 2000, in California at Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Due to a 15-year history of spread in the Mediterranean Sea, C. taxifolia had already been placed on the US Federal Noxious Weed list in 1999. Awareness of this threat greatly facilitated consensus building and setting clear eradication goals among a large number of state, federal and local agencies as well as private groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that became the 'Southern California Caulerpa Action Team' (SCCAT). Field containment and treatments began 17 days after the discovery due to: (1) timely identification and notification of the infestation; (2) the proactive staff of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board who deemed this invasion tantamount to an 'oil spill', thus freeing up emergency funding; (3) the mobilization of diver crews already working at the site. Three well-integrated components of this rapid response have resulted in an effective eradication program: (a) expertise and knowledge on the biology of C. taxifolia; (b) knowledge on the uses, 'ownership' and characteristics of the infested site; (c) knowledge and experience in the implementation of aquatic plant eradication. Together, with the requisite resources (approximately $US1.2 million per year), this approach has resulted in containment, treatment and excellent progress toward eradication of C. taxifolia. Successful rapid response to other aquatic invasive species will require similar readiness to act, and immediate access to adequate funding.
