Montana has a wide variety of invasive aquatic species ranging from algae to alligators. The effect each invasive species has on the environment varies greatly, some species are devastating while others are negligible.[1] Aquatic plants and algae may easily be transported from lake to lake by boaters who do not take the necessary precautions when launching their boats into new bodies of water.[2][3] Sometimes pet owners may release their pets into a non native habitat where they will actually thrive and eventually establish a population and then begin to displace the native species that it competes with.[4][5][6][7]
