| Abstract |
This report describes the current distribution of NNS in marinas on the East Anglian and
western coasts of England, comparing it to data from previous surveys from 2009/10 and to
data from other areas of the UK. It supplements the report from the RAS 2014 project which
surveyed the south coast. The data is of relevance to monitoring and pathway management
obligations under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSDF); will contribute to the
annual compilation of Indicator B6 (Pressure from Invasive Species) of the UK Biodiversity
Indicators published by Defra; 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 the management of NNS. |
