Our seas are under threat from a range of human activities, including the introduction and spread of invasive species. Most non-native species in our seas cause few problems, but the number of damaging invasive species is increasing.
This is a major issue on a global scale, particularly as there’s evidence they are more tolerant to environmental change, meaning even currently benign species could gain an advantage under future climate change scenarios. Expanding regulation is tackling this growing issue and the impacts it has on ecosystems, human health and marine economies. But how big is the issue?
