    - Some native plant population will decline

    Explanation:

    If the boat brings in a nonnative plant into the lake, than that means that lake will get an invasive species. The plant that will be brought will be an invasive species as it is not native to that lake. The invasive species usually manage to out-compete the native species, often resulting in rapid increase in the numbers of the invasive species, and rapid decline, or even extinction of some of the native species as they are not able to compete with the invasive species.
