Invasive Species Traded Online
Invasive species are organisms that occupy habitats outside of their native range and tend to spread, causing damage to the environment and economy. The rate at which non-native species are being introduced is increasing in most countries, due in part to the rise of new distribution channels, including e-commerce.
Amazon and eBay were recently implicated in hosting ads to ship banned invasive species into the UK.
The sites carried listings for aquatic plants that are popularly used in ponds and aquariums, including floating pennywort, water fern and parrot’s feather. All are native to the Americas, and all are invasive species in the UK that have been banned from entering the country.

Hybrid Form of Milfoil on Pentwater Lake
- Pentwater Lake Improvement Board President Joe Primozich recently issued an update on changes going on in overall health of Pentwater Lake. Primozich said according to Progressive AE, the Grand Rapids company that monitors the lake vegetation, the aquatic invasive water milfoil has now changed to the hybrid form. “This means that it has a greater tolerance to herbicides and will require a more costly treatment than dealing with the native northern milfoil or the exotic Eurasian milfoil of the past 16 years,” Primozich said. “This appears to be a more aggressive growth pattern.”
