Which of the following legislation is focused on controlling the spread of invasive species?

The Lacey Act is centered on controlling the spread of invasive species by prohibiting the trade of illegal wildlife and plants, as well as regulating the introduction of non-native species into ecosystems. This legislation aims to prevent harm that invasive species can cause to native wildlife, habitats, and ecosystems. By restricting the importation and transport of species that are deemed harmful, the Lacey Act plays a crucial role in protecting biodiversity and ecological balance.

In contrast, the Clean Water Act focuses on regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and ensuring water quality, but it does not specifically target invasive species. Similarly, while the Endangered Species Act is designed to protect endangered and threatened species and their habitats, its primary focus is on conservation rather than the control of invasive species. The National Environmental Policy Act emphasizes environmental impact assessments and transparency in federal decision-making, addressing a broader scope of environmental concerns without specifically targeting invasive species control.
