Invasive (but delicious) clams discovered in Cape Cod

Scientists have identified the invasive Manila clam in Cape Cod, marking a significant expansion of this non-native species in the Northern Hemisphere. Originally from Asia, these clams are known for their rapid growth and adaptability, which can disrupt local ecosystems. While their presence poses a potential threat to native marine life, their culinary appeal has made them a sought-after delicacy. This discovery underscores the broader issue of invasive species and their complex impacts on both environment and human activities.
