Just eat it. Conservation biologist Dr. Joe Roman suggests people eat invasive species of snails and plants in order to combat the environmental damage caused by the critters and plant life. In an interview, Dr. Roman says that turning invasive species into culinary delicacies is a great way to control their populations. The doc has even provided recipes for cooking invasive plants and animals, making the case for sustainable and tasty alternatives.
Roman highlights the general traits of invasive species, such as being non-native, adaptable, and having high reproductive rates. He shares examples of invasive species you can eat, like, European green crabs, Japanese knotweed, and lionfish. (Just be sure to remove the spines before consuming, warns the doc!)
