Hi, I just need someone to help me finish the rest of this lab.
Assignment: SCIE211 Phase 5 Lab Report
Title: Identifying Environmental Hazards
Instructions: You will write a 1-page lab report using the scientific method to answer the following questions:
Why do you see increases and decreases in the invasive species population?
The increase and decrease in the invasive species population can be due to climate change and import and export from cargo ships.
What are the implications associated with these alterations to the ecosystem as a whole?
The implications associated with these alterations to the ecosystem as a whole

Purpose
The purpose of this lab is to determine why the invasive species such as the quagga and zebra mussels increase and decrease in population for the past 20 years.
Introduction
Since 1959, in St. Lawrence Seaway cargo ships came from Europe which brought quagga and zebra mussels into the United States carried within their cargo. The quagga and zebra mussels are aquatic invasive species.
Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.
Give your paper a title and number, and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.
