Invasive species are any organism ( plant,animal,fungus,bacteria ) that has negative effects on our economy, our environment, or our health. These marine aquatic plants are introduced plants that have adapted and can now grow partially submerged or submerged in water. Invasive species can also be know as nuisance species that are not indigenous and they endanger the abundance or diversity of the native species.

Veined Rapa Whelk ( Rapana venosa )
