Hi Eddie,

Thanks very much for this Gorse report. I have forwarded it to ODA to see how they suggest we respond. I believe Gorse is considered a priority in that area since there is very little of it North of there (except at Sea Lion Caves there is a ton!). I am also looking into who at State Parks needs to be notified. If you have any suggestions for who should be notified let me know. I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks again and please keep on reporting high priority species (for early detection and rapid response)!
