In recent decades, we’ve heard much about the impact of invasive species on new ecosystems - be it Eurasian species in the Americas, American species in Australia, Canadian species in Argentina, or whatever. The Suez Canal allows sea life to move freely between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, so what effect did this have on both environments?
Not to discourage more discussion. But I think this great comment by /u/craigellachie answers your question pretty well.
