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.

Persistent High Lake Levels Set Stage for Big Flood
- Heavy rains caused widespread flooding in the Madison area. When Lake Monona crested, officials began harvesting the aquatic vegetation in an effort to increase the water flow out of the chain of lakes. Staff used ten mechanical weed harvesters to remove over 270 loads of aquatic plants. That doubled the flow of water leaving the chain of lakes, so more water is leaving the Yahara chain than what’s entering, allowing lake levels to stabilize.
