Didemnum vexillum is a highly invasive non native sea-squirt that was discovered in Wales in 2008. It is the first record of this sea squirt in the UK, although this species has been found in Ireland. The Countryside Council for Wales are looking into monitoring this species and advising on its control and eradication in Wales. This video shows one of the vessels that was heavily fouled being carefully removed from the marina and cleaned.
