Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) are non-native organisms that disrupt local ecosystems in water bodies. They can include plants, fish, and microorganisms that outcompete native species for resources, leading to ecological imbalances. AIS often spread through human activities, such as boating and fishing, and can cause significant economic damage to industries like fishing and tourism. Controlling AIS is challenging and often requires coordinated efforts among governments, organizations, and communities. Prevention strategies include public education, monitoring water bodies, and implementing regulations to limit the introduction and spread of these species. Effective management is crucial to protect native biodiversity and maintain healthy aquatic environments.
