What management strategies are used to control invasive species?
Managing invasive species requires a multi-faceted approach that includes prevention, early detection, rapid response, and long-term control measures. Prevention involves policies and practices to stop the introduction of invasive species, such as stricter regulations on trade and transportation. Early detection and rapid response efforts focus on identifying and eradicating invasive species before they become established. Long-term control measures may include biological control, chemical treatments, and habitat restoration. Understanding the toxicological impacts of invasive species is essential for developing effective and sustainable management strategies.
