Rising seas open new front for biological invasions
Original: Global sea-level rise will create a new biological invasion front
New research warns that global sea-level rise will create a new biological invasion front, as advancing saltwater allows non-native marine and coastal species to move into previously inaccessible habitats. Scientists say shifting shorelines could let invasive species establish in estuaries, wetlands and low-lying areas, with consequences for native biodiversity and coastal ecosystems. The finding adds to concerns about how climate change reshapes species distributions worldwide.
Why now: A new scientific study linking sea-level rise to invasive species spread is drawing attention amid ongoing climate concerns.
