Also, once ice plant dies it leaves behind so much salt that other native plants don't want to live there. All of this lessens the diversity of wetland plants. This means that endangered species like the Clapper Rail lose their homes. Native to the Carribean, a strain of this saltwater aquarium plant has devastated the Mediterrean. Unfortunately it was discovered right here in San Diego, probably after someone dumped the contents of their aquarium in the lagoon.
