Impact ID Scientific Name Impact Type Study Type Study Location Impact Description Geographic Location Reference
7170 Ulva (Enteromorpha) flexuosa subsp. flexuosa and flexuosa subsp. paradoxa Competition Observational Field The first recorded bloom of Ulva flexuosa in the Great Lakes occurred in Muskegon Lake, where it dominated the macrophyte community. Ulva flexuosa supported a relatively low density and diversity of epiphytes compared to native macrophytes. Michigan, USA 17219
7171 Ulva (Enteromorpha) flexuosa subsp. flexuosa and flexuosa subsp. paradoxa Competition Observational Field Blooms of Ulva flexuosa in Europe have been associated with the extirpation of species of red algae and epiphytes. K?nigshafen Bay, Wadden Sea 17513
7172 Ulva (Enteromorpha) flexuosa subsp. flexuosa and flexuosa subsp. paradoxa Competition Anecdotal N/A It is hypothesized that shading of macrophytes could become problematic in Great Lakes if blooms were sustained for long periods of time. Great Lakes, USA 17219
