RAS 2014 Non-Native Species Rapid Assessment Surveys in English Marinas

Abstract

This report describes the current distribution of NNS in marinas on the coast of S England, comparing it to data from previous surveys from 2009/10. The data is of relevance to monitoring and pathway management obligations under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSDF) and to assessing the feasibility of granting exemptions under the Ballast Water Management Convention. The information will be of value to government departments, non-departmental public bodies, environmental charities and other organizations concerned with environmental policy and management of NNS
