Do we disrupt species dispora?

[Techno-Druid]

The Tsunami fish is a good example, a few years ago a Tsunami carried a partially submerged boat from Japan to Washington, USA carrying five striped beakfish. Although the boat was manmade, the fish were all naturally carried over by a natural force, a Tsunami. Four of the five fish were euthanized and the remaining specimen was brought to an aquarium. Were we right to do it? After all much of the small species of the world started by being carried or flying somewhere, examples like when North and South America were still apart and almost on the verge of colliding or when the Indian subcontinent was on the verge of merging with Eurasia millions of years ago. What are your opinions on this?

We have a lot of experience in foreign species being introduced to an ecosystem, and it often ends very badly for indigenous species if they thrive. Just because it happens by natural means, doesn't mean it's best not to interfere.

Humans create environments that are disturbed at the ecosystem level and species can become invasive easier in disturbed environments. Back in the day before humans, this constant disturbance was not around so the host of niches within an environment were more thoroughly filled and something like this would be less likely to create new establishment.

So yeah. It's the right thing to do if you don't want a zebra mussel/asian carp/wild boar/feral cat/emerald ash borer situation again. Which we don't.

But none of those species were naturally carried over or migrated over.

All those forces are natural. When you come upon supernatural forces acting upon the Japanese fish let me know.
