i need a supporting detail idea 1 the topic is invasive ocean species

One supporting detail for the topic of invasive ocean species could be the impact of invasive species on local ecosystems. For instance, you could discuss how the introduction of the lionfish (Pterois volitans) in the Caribbean has led to significant declines in native fish populations. This predatory species has no natural predators in these waters, allowing its population to grow unchecked. The resulting imbalance not only affects the fish populations but also disrupts coral reef health, as fewer herbivorous fish are available to control algae growth, leading to further degradation of the marine environment. This detail illustrates the broader ecological consequences of invasive species and emphasizes the need for management and prevention strategies.
