From Asian clams to zebra mussels, aquatic
invasive species are emerging as a major environmental threat. They
harm native fish and wildlife, permanently alter habitats, and lead
to billions of dollars in costs.
Invasion of the Habitat Snatchers uses live displays,
video and hands-on activities to demonstrate how invasive species
enter and affect new environments, the factors that influence an
invader’s “success,” and how each of us can prevent
future invasions.
Learn about aquatic invaders that threaten the Pacific Northwest,
how they arrive and how they can be controlled. Get a close-up look
at ballast water “hitchhikers,” Spin the "Wheel
of Misfortune" to learn about invasion risks or play the role
of an aquatic invader in an interactive survival game.
Invasion of the Habitat Snatchers is open now. Watch our current
events page for more!
