Illustration of a ghost forest, which can be caused by sea-level rise, land subsidence, or both. As land subsides along the coast, trees can drown in saturated soils, creating ghost forests. Salt-water intrusion into groundwater can also cause salt-intolerant trees to die.

This fish is used for aquaculture throughout Asia, particularly in China and Vietnam. Silver carp were imported to North America in the 1970s to control algae growth in aquaculture and municipal wastewater treatment facilities. They escaped from captivity soon after their importation. They are considered a highly invasive species.
Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Silver Carp)
An infiltration trench (a.k.a. infiltration galley) is a rock-filled trench with no outlet that receives stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff passes through some combination of pretreatment measures, such as a swale and detention basin, and into the trench. There, runoff is stored in the void space between the stones and infiltrates through the bottom and into the soil matrix. The primary pollutant removal mechanism of this practice is filtering through the soil.

The Mediterranean mussel is a species of bivalve, a marine mollusc in the family Mytilidae. It is an invasive species in many parts of the world, as well as an object of aquaculture in Spain and China.

A male northern cardinal was flushed off the nest in a juniper bush where he was incubating 3 eggs. This photo was taken on the UMCES campus, Cambridge, MD, May , 2013.

Permeable pavers are brick-like materials that are manufactured in a variety of shapes. Pavers fit together like tiles and are set with small gaps between them, creating grooves for water to infiltrate the soil beneath. Permeable pavers reduce stormwater runoff volume and flow rate, and increase groundwater infiltration and recharge.

The Atlantic salmon is an anadromous fish, typically spending 2-3 years in freshwater, migrating to the ocean where it also spends 2-3 years, and then returning to its natal river to spawn. It originally occurred in every country with rivers flowing in to the North Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea and is thus native to the region. Today, the species distribution has decreased in its southern range on both sides of the Atlantic.
