[Coral-List] Ulva fasciata

[Medio, David]

Dear Coral list

a coastal tourism development in Peru has an issue with this particular seaweed growing and/or populating its proposed beaches especially at low tide. Consequences include bad odour, difficulty with access to the beach etc.
Similar developments elsewhere I understand have built walls that prevent (in part) the moving of the seaweed and its infesting beaches set aside for recreation. This is bound to cause other (hydrodynamic related) problems.
Does anyone have experience in dealing with similar problems.
