> almost certainly futile in the long run however. We have a similar situation here in NZ, with a delightfully invasive river weed called 'rock-snot' (not, perhaps, in scientific circles). It seems to have been a gift from the Northern Hemisphere - probably on some trout fisherman's felt-soled river waders - which we have recently banned. (Closing the stable door...) When moving between waterways, we are now all washing our kayaks & gear (and any other road-mobile boats) in solutions of household bleach. Most people think this is environmental wishful-thinking, as the millions of water fowl are proving damn hard to train...
