Scholars,
This week we are discussing aquatic diversity. One of the major impacts that can affect biodiversity of an aquatic ecosystem are Invasive Species. For this weeks post I want you to find a news article discussing an invasive species that has infected an area.
Happy Hunting

Kudzu!
ReplyDeletehttp://maxshores.com/kudzu/
Introduced to the South in 1876, Kudzu was used for many tasks such as feeding animals and erosion control. Now, 7 million acres later we're trying to control it because it grows over everything and chokes out trees from sunlight and kills them.

This article is about the European Green Crab being introduced to southwestern Washington. It has been seen in the San Fransisco Bay and a bay in Oregon within the last 10 yrs. The European Green Crab eats all small shell fish, which is bad because the shell fish are needed, and the crab eats nearly their whole populations.
