Hey I collect animals for biomedical research and I need your help.
I am looking for a bryozoan named bugula neritina.
This has been used to fight cancer and I am looking for over !00lbs of this.
Normally i find it on the Los Angeles and Long Beach break water but I am not having any luck
Thanks

I asked one of the local marine biologists about this...the liklihood is that we have a lot of this in the intracoastal area of the Lake Worth Inlet, near the area you may have heard of called the Blue Heron Bridge Marine park.
While no one would want to remove the neritina from the BHB Park area, there are huge expanses of hydroids we know of in many areas around BHB, and the Neritina may well be with it.

Here is a typical bottom view :
