The species include common carp, Asian clams and a flower called the crested floating-heart. The app uses a color-coded map to predict what water systems a species may have reached given Harvey's known flood rise. Invasive species often expand their range when rivers crest. Officials say the app will help with decontamination and prevention efforts. The nation spends $137 billion annually fighting invasive species, according to the Center for Bioenvironmental Research (Sara Sneath, New Orleans *Times-Picayune* <http://www.nola.com/environment/index.ssf/2017/09/hurricane_harvey_invasive_species.html#incart_m-rpt-2>, Sept. 25). *— NB* Want to read more stories like this?
