The Northern Snakehead is a monster and it has invaded the Potomac River, but Maryland and Virginia have very different ways of dealing with this invasive species. Maryland and Washington, DC have legalized the commercial sale of snakehead in order to eradicate the population. Virginia, however, has taken a different stance. They have not legalized the sale of this invasive species, fearing that it will only encourage people to naturalize the Northern Snakehead for economic gain. 'Invasive' raises an essential question that applies to all environmental issues: do we adapt to our changing environment or do we fight back to make a change?
