Nonnative Animals

Many animal species call the Chattahoochee River NRA home. With continued development surrounding the park, habitat for these creatures is constantly at danger of diminishing even more than it already has. In addition to the loss of space, native species must compete for resources with nonindigenous nuisance species. These nuisance species can impact local ecosystems in many different ways.
