Although the Eucheuma algae is not as prevalent as it once was, it is still present in Kaneohe Bay. The Aquatic Invasive Species Team is still active in monitoring the Bay for invasive algae. The bulk of invasive algae was removed via trash pumps aboard the "Super Sucker" barge. We currently outplant aquacultured native sea urchins to graze on the invasive algae.
