Invasive species cause negative impacts on the environment, the economy, and human health, according to the digital invasive species guide developed by the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC). The invasive species guide is available to assist with recognizing, and understanding invasive species impacts in the lower Galveston Bay watershed.
