Question

Which of the following would likely reduce the threats posed by exotic species to native species?

1. Increasing inspections of goods coming into a country
2. Mandating that bilgewater from vessels be emptied in ports instead of in the open ocean
3. Enforcing legislation that restricts imported materials such as untreated wooden packing crates

Answer 1

Answers are 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exotic species are also known as the alien or non-indigenous species of both plants and animals. They can grow or moved-into into a new environment or non-native environment.

They are introduced into a new environment based on different factors, such as

* for sport e.g sport fish

* as domestic animals

* for combating or controlling pest.

These exotic species can be very harmful that is why necessary control measures should be put in place.

Enforcing legislation on imported materials and inspection of those coming to the country will not allow any exotic-specie-harboring materials to bring them to the country.
