In 2008, Molnar et al. documented the pathways of hundreds of marine invasive species and found shipping was the dominant mechanism for the transfer of invasive species in the ocean. The two main maritime mechanisms of transporting marine organisms to other ocean environments are via hull fouling and the transfer of ballast water. [20]

When it floods, water doesn't just rise: sometimes it connects. The U.S. Geological Survey is mapping how invasive species spread during floods.
C. maenas is a widespread invasive species, listed among the 100 of the World's Worst Invasive Alien Species. [2] It is native to the north-east Atlantic Ocean and Baltic Sea, but has colonised similar habitats in Australia, South Africa, South America and both Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America.
Biological pollution (impacts or bio pollution) is the impact of humanity's actions on the quality of aquatic and terrestrial environment.Specifically, biological pollution is the introduction of non-indigenous and invasive species, [1] otherwise known as Invasive Alien Species (IAS).
This species can be green, red, or yellow with 2 claws, a saw-like shell, and pointed, hairy back legs. [18] It is smaller than other species, but it is similar in appearance to the native Rock, Jonah, and Lady crabs. [18] [19] The European green crab is dangerous as an invasive species for the aggressive nature in which it inhabits new waters.
