Invasive Species in Washington
© Terry Donnelly Invasive Species Featured Image
Non-native invasive plant and animal species cause significant economic impact to property owners, farmers and ranchers, people involved in aquaculture and fisheries, and others as a result of reduced yields and the cost of control/eradication efforts. There are also tremendous environmental impacts. Invasive species have been identified as a threat to more than 25% of the state’s plant species that are of conservation concern. Aquatic nuisance species have been identified as the second leading threat to diversity within Puget Sound.
