Ocean invaders

How do invasive species take over? Invasive species start as strangers in a strange land but over time come to dominate their new homes. The ocean has played host to some of the most prolific of these infiltrations of our time. Learn how the green crab and the lionfish invaded and took over ecosystems in North America and the Caribbean.
