I saw an show on Food Channel about these oysters, I forget their names, but they are native to the Seattle area. They say they are pretty good to eat, but not raw.

If they taste good it shouldn't be a problem getting rid of them.

They probably got in the Bay the same way zebra mussels got in the Great Lakes - hitched a ride in the bilge of a foreign ship.

What do they taste like? If they're any good, just making it open season on the buggers should do the trick.

I hear there's a rare species of endangered sponge worm on the bottom of the ocean. Lets send all the red/greens down to protect them!!

Hold on now... Who says that they're an invasive species? Perhaps they belong there. Since they haven't been identified, authorities can't just declare them to be "exotic". This could simply be a very rare species of native oyster; in other words, an endangered species! They need to be protected so that schoolchildren of the future can enjoy looking at them!
