AbstractDid you know that our seas in the UK are being invaded by an intriguing array of animals and seaweeds? Non-native species can catch a ride to UK marine waters on the many ships that cross our oceans annually, or through a variety of other routes. Once established, they may be harmful to our native diversity, by outcompeting them or by introducing disease. Others bring benefits, such as the tasty edible Pacific Oyster, and can benefit our local species by creating habitats and shelter.
