Answer:

Invasive species are an organism that causes ecological or economic harm in a new environment where it's not native.

Step-by-step explanation:

An invasive species can harm both the natural resources in the ecosystem as well it threaten the human use of these resources and invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and etc.

Invasive species is capable of causing extinctions to native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can also result a huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and the great lakes of the ecosystems.

I hope it helps you.
