Invasive species in the marine environment - problem regions

Year: 2008 Author: Hugo Ahlenius, UNEP/GRID-Arendal
Description:
The locations of major problem areas for invasive species infestations or occurrence of exotic species in the marine environment. The impacted areas are concurrent with the areas subjected to the worst pollution, the most intensive fisheries and bottom trawling, and major shipping routes. The areas in the figure have been highlighted based on an overview of literature, and the delineation of the areas are approximate.
