Wetlands are the primary role player in the sustenance of our fragile and delicate ecosystems, marine habitats, estuaries, and ground and surface water resources. However, wetlands are quite sensitive to loss, degradation, and erosion, depending on the activities and exploitation done on it. Wetland types include marshes, peat, fen, and water bodies like swamp, saltwater, freshwater, and brackish water. Varieties of plants and animal species live, breed, and forage in the wetlands. Spartina alterniflora is simply an invasive perennial rhizomatous deep-rooted salt marsh grass, which plays an essential role in ecological function in its native ecosystems (Xiao et al., 2010). Spartina alterniflora is native to the eastern coast of North America. Invasive plants are plants that are deliberately or inadvertently introduced into any habitat where they have not evolved. Invasive species can spread into various habitat and beyond their native range (Zheng et al., 2016). They are believed to cause havoc to the environment and human welfare after being introduced (Ehrenfeld, 2010).
