Solutions Document- Invasive Species


In order to target this problem, our team has gathered some possible solutions to this issue. To target intentional invasive species interaction, we would suggest stricter codas and restrictions for what can be brought from outside countries. Search of luggage should be more thorough and restrictions on legally brought species should also be stricter. As for shipping, more should be done regarding the changing of ballast water. Ballast water stations should be built along major trade routes so that water can be changed constantly along the route instead of immediately once docked into port. The water transitioned from one station to another will less likely be as foreign to the station as it would be to the dock.
