Illustrations by Maxie Buchanan, Loriann Cody and James Cook Illustrations are not to scale Exotic or nonindigenous species are plants or animals that are transported to an area outside their native range where they compete with native species for food and habitat and may impact the ecosystem. These thirty species are considered invasive somewhere in New York waters. With New York’s fresh water, brackish, and saltwater coasts, a species indigenous to one area may be invasive in another. 30 Species to Watch
