Workshop Information |
| The
following concepts are the focal points for the Exotic Aquatics on the
Move workshop. Each concept raises several geographic questions that
can be explored by teachers and students. |
Origin
Where did each exotic species come from? What regions have the potential
of being a suitable habitat for exotic aquatics? |
| Distribution
What is the range for each of the exotic aquatic species? What factors influence the
suitability of one location over another for establishment? |
| Movement
What are the vectors of spread? How are each exotic aquatic
species moved? How quickly has each species
spread? Where are each exotic aquatic
species likely to move next? |
| Consequences
What impact has each exotic aquatic species made on the human systems such
as those of industry, economics, and public utilities? What has been the cost to
governments and private industry to remove these plants or animals or
perform damage control? |
| Solutions
What can be done to decrease the population of each
species? What
can be done to stop the spread? |
