1 Understanding the Role of Shipping in Biological Invasions of Coastal Marine Ecosystems Greg Ruiz Smithsonian Environmental Research Center Edgewater Maryland USA
2 Common Terms for Non-Native Species Exotic Introduced Nonindigenous Alien Naturalized Adventive Translocation Immigrant Weed Neophyte Colonist Invader Newcomer Waif Import Casual / Transient
3 Invasions by European Green Crabs s s 1900
4 Overview Patterns of invasion for coastal marine ecosystems: Focus on invertebrates/algae in the U.S. Current state of knowledge about shipping and species transfer in U.S. Latitudinal pattern of invasions (non-native species richness) for western North America Comparative research in Panama
5 Non-native Invertebrates & Algae Reported in Coastal Waters of Continental U.S. Protozoa Other Bryozoa Cnidaria Urochordata Insecta Annelida Mollusca Crustacea NEMESIS Number of Species
6 Non-native Invertebrates & Algae Reported in Coastal Waters of Continental U.S. Protozoa Other Bryozoa Cnidaria Urochordata Insecta Annelida Mollusca Crustacea NEMESIS Number of Species
7 Number of Species Biocontrol Fisheries Vectors Ornamental Including Shipping Excluding Shipping Multiple Shipping Fofonoff et al. 2003
8 Rate of new Increasing coastal Discovery invasions Rate detected for each coast of North America Number of Invasions Coastal Invasions of the United States 100 West Coast Gulf Coast East Coast Time (years) since 1790 Ruiz et al 2000 (Ruiz et al. 2000)
9 Discovery Rate of Coastal Invasions by Vector Number of Invasions Fisheries Shipping Ruiz et al Time (years) since 1790
10 Trade by Ships Global Scale Ships carry >90% world trade > 85,000 ships in world fleet > 5.4 billion tonnes cargo / year Underpins global economic development Modern society is shipping dependant Continuing to increase

12 Current Magnitude & Behavior of Shipping to U.S.?
13 National Ballast Information Clearinghouse Mandated by U.S. Congress via the National Invasive Species Act of 1996 (P.L ) Cooperative effort of USCG and SERC USCG Regulatory Activities SERC Collection, analysis, interpretation of data on ballast water delivery and management practices of commercial ships
14 Spatial Distribution of Arrivals and BW Discharge Events in the U.S. ( ) Reported Arrivals / Year Foreign: 56,095 (70.8%) Domestic: 57,081 (60.8%*) Total Reported BW Discharge Foreign: 73,720,448 MT Domestic: 183,802,033 MT Miller et al. 2008

17 Mid-ocean Ballast Water Exchange (BWE) Empty/Refill 100% Flow-Through 300% Approach: Vector Management
18 Hull Fouling Important Historically
19 Hull Fouling Important Today: bigger ships travel farther, faster WSA = ~335M sq meters/yr from overseas vessels
