About this ebook
Marine Invasive Species sheds light on the growing threat of non-native species infiltrating deep-sea ecosystems. Once considered immune, these fragile environments are now vulnerable to bioinvasions, impacting biodiversity and biogeochemical cycles. The book explores how increased shipping and deep-sea mining contribute to this problem, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts.
Did you know that deep-sea ecosystems play a vital role in global processes and are increasingly targeted for resource extraction? The book dissects the pathways of these invasions, analyzing ecological impacts such as competition and habitat alteration, and evaluating management strategies.
Current conservation efforts overlook the deep sea, creating a blind spot in environmental management. By drawing on scientific literature, government reports, and visual data from ROVs, the book takes a comprehensive approach to understanding this issue.
The book progresses from introducing marine bioinvasions to examining introduction pathways, analyzing ecological impacts, exploring management strategies, and discussing conservation policy implications. This approach offers a novel perspective by focusing on the deep sea while adopting a systems-thinking approach.
