Abstract

The Chafarinas Islands constitute an important biodiversity area in the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean) that is under protection. For the islands, we present a new record of Caulerpa cylindracea, an aggressive, fast-spreading invasive taxon introduced into the Mediterranean Sea a few years ago. We warn about a potential invasion in this significant marine reserve.
