Native species can be displaced or killed. Many invaders have already established populations in various regions of California and occur in different stages of the invasion process. Humans can be exposed to unknown pathogens. In the NCRN, the forests are typically surrounded by urban or agricultural areas. In Lake Victoria, Uganda, water hyacinth grew so thickly that boats could not get through it.
