Species: Invasive Species
built 282 days ago
Many of these invasive species pose serious threats because of their potential to foul industrial facilities and plug public water supply intakes that draw from infested waters. Invasive species even can interfere with the operation of locks and dams on rivers, or damage boat hulls and engines. Without natural predators, exotic species can multiply at fantastic rates and overwhelm ecosystems, removing organisms from the food chain that native species depend on for survival.
