Maritime Vectors

Maritime Vectors is a conceptual framework within invasion ecology that identifies and classifies the mechanisms and pathways through which non-native species are transported and introduced into new ecosystems via maritime activities, distinguishing it from terrestrial or aerial vectors by its exclusive association with shipping, ballast water, hull fouling, and related marine transport processes.
