    Impacts:
    Reduction in native biodiversity: Musculista senhousia may have adverse impacts on Zostera marina beds which are patchy and sparse. This may have implications for Z. marina conservation management, as many beds are already seriously degraded and limited in southern California (Reusch and Williams, 1998).
