Tonight's homework is to complete Assignment 24 and study for Thursday and Friday's exam. To complete Assignment 24, you need to answer the Guiding Questions:

1. How is Caulerpa taxifolia an invasive species?

2. How does this case study relate to the principles of sustainability (reliance on solar energy, nutrient cycling, population control, and biodiversity)?

To support your efforts, use the following:

Powerpoint from class today
Sea Grant California's article about the detection Caulerpa taxifolia off the coast of California
PBS Nova video clip about Caulerpa taxifolia

Also, the articles from yesterday's post could be helpful. If you want to review/complete the other MC questions, then go for it. They were intended to help focus your attention on relevant details while we discussed the case study.
