4.5 River Basins
Little is known of the extent to which nonnative aquatic species have become established in the Savannah River Basin in North Carolina. Nonnative vegetation can also negatively impact native aquatic animal communities. Tis includes both aquatic and riparian plant species and nonnative plant pathogens that can alter riparian vegetation and afect aquatic habitats (e.g., Hemlock Wooly Adelgid). 4.5.16.5 Recommendations Conservation priorities that apply statewide to all river basins are presented in Section 4.5.3.3. Priorities identifed in the Savannah River Basin are shown in Figure 4.32 and a list of the priority 12-digit HUCs is included in Appendix J.
