Kent's marine life 'threatened by Carpet Sea Squirt'

Wildlife experts are fearing for the future of Kent marine life after the discovery of a highly-invasive creature on the coast.

Carpet Sea Squirt has spread cross much of the world, damaging shellfish and fishing grounds.
In the UK, it has only been found in a few marinas but has now turned up in Kent and has started to smother the famous Whitstable oyster beds.
