The transport of living plants and animals to areas beyond their native range has been practiced by human beings for thousands of years. While some introductions are intentional, others occur by accident or happenstance. Regardless of the means by which an introduction is manifested, the potential for ecological change remains the same. This site presents information about the impact of introduced species on the aquatic ecosystems of South Florida.
