Invasive Species in Florida Waterways

Florida's canals are home to a surprising array of exotic fish species, with some causing concern for native ecosystems. These non-native fish can outcompete native species for food and habitat, leading to a decline in biodiversity. The introduction of exotic species can have significant impacts on the environment, and efforts are being made to prevent further introductions and mitigate the effects of existing populations.
