Exotic Species Sample Clauses
The Exotic Species clause defines the responsibilities and restrictions related to the introduction, management, or control of non-native species within a specified area or project. Typically, this clause prohibits the intentional or accidental introduction of plants, animals, or microorganisms that are not indigenous to the region, and may require parties to implement measures to prevent the spread of such species. Its core function is to protect local ecosystems and biodiversity by minimizing the risk of ecological disruption or harm caused by invasive species.
Exotic Species. The introduction, cultivation, or use of exotic plant or animal species is prohibited on the Property without prior written approval of Grantee, any such approval shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Grantor of any terms and conditions Grantee determines are necessary to ensure the protection of the conservation values of the Property and any applicable terms of the Restoration Plan.
Exotic Species. For purposes of this MOU, all species of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles or their progeny or eggs, not naturally occurring either presently or historically in any ecosystem of the United States.
Exotic Species. Within the lake, benthic species composition, abundance, and distribution have become dramatically altered either because of, or together with the establishment of nonnative zebra and quagga mussels (Dreissenidae) beginning in the early 1990s. Dreissenids may be abundant enough in Lake Erie to regulate phytoplankton production, and they are becoming increasingly important in the diet of both sport fish (such as smallmouth bass) and invading species (round gobies). Dreissenids are also affecting the distribution of other benthic organisms, such as aquatic insects, crayfish, and other shallow-water (Gammarus) and deepwater (Diporeia) crustaceans. These changes are expected to influence the growth of both bottom-feeding and plankton-feeding fish populations. In addition, the water quality models used to predict the amounts of nutrients and concentrations of oxygen in the water are becoming increasingly inaccurate. This may be due to the influence of non-native invasive species, climate change, or the need for better measurements of the way water circulates, mixes, and carries materials to different parts of the lake.

Exotic Species. All materials and equipment brought into work sites shall be free of exotic species. Equipment shall be cleaned by the Contractor and inspected by the District Engineer prior to entering the work site. It should be noted that New Zealand mud snail, an invasive species, is present in the Carmel River and can be spread by equipment that comes into contact with the snail.
