Ships that use ballast water are not in danger of introducing invasive species into aquatic habitats.
true of false

FALSE

Explanation:

Invasive species are those organisms that are dominant in a new ecosystem and they can harm the native species. For example, killer algae and green crab.

The ships often uses ballast water in order to maintain the vessel stability. This ballast water sometimes gets leaked into the water bodies. The release of ballast water can cause a negative effect on the marine environment. It release the organisms that are new to that ecosystem, as a result of which these organisms becomes superior and thereby results in the extinction or reduction of the native species.

Thus, the invasive species can also affect the aquatic habitats by affecting the living species as well as the underwater plants that grows in this region.

Hence, the above statement is FALSE.
