Pest introduction happens for multiple reasons here: ships bilge water,
a useful aquarium plant that ends up in waste water to the sea, somebody
trying to cross bred bees. Just to name a few of the current happening
disasters. Another problem is that some peoples weeds are other peoples
breakfast or flower arrangement. Grass is a weed in my garden.

I think that trying to limit introduction of some species is a
requirement but it is also important to try to build as robust of an eco
system as possible.
