This is yet another form of livestock, escaped from captivity and left to roam free.

Our marine life may be out of sight, but it does not mean it is out of trouble.

Current control methods, such as poisoning, trapping, biological control with additional introduction of competitors or predators are often ineffective, costly, and not species specific. Genetic biocontrol has considerable potential to control invasive populations but has not been developed in any vertebrate pest species.
