Bluff Harbour on alert after giant worm found

A massive 2-foot-long Mediterranean fanworm was just discovered under Bluff Harbour’s wharf, and it’s got the whole community on edge. This invasive marine pest can form dense colonies, outcompeting local sea life like mussels and oysters—bad news for anyone who loves fresh seafood or cares about our local ecosystem. Officials are ramping up surveys to see how far it’s spread, but they’re also asking everyone to keep an eye out and report any sightings. If you’re out boating or fishing, double-check your gear and hulls to help stop the spread. Have you spotted anything unusual in the water lately? #Science #BluffHarbour #InvasiveSpecies
