The lovable wombat is an iconic species at Wilsons Promontory National Park, but could it also be spreading an invasive weed that has rarely been seen in Australia before?

Over at Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary, Marine and Coastal Sciences and Program Manager Michael Sams and his team are doing everything they can to keep sea urchin numbers under control in Port Phillip Bay.
