An invasive species of seaweed has invaded the California coastline, where it's set about blocking out much-needed sunlight from native the native kelp. Now it's endangering entire marine ecosystems that call California kelp forests home, and it's spreading fast. Really fast--the Asian kelp, which is called wakame, and is the stuff used to make miso soup, is considered one of the world's 100 worst invasive species. And no, it doesn't mean Californians will soon be enjoying delicious Japanese soup whenever they please--it means the state's coastal habitats are in big trouble.
