Rech, S.; Borrell, Y.; Garcia-Vazquez, E. (2016). Marine litter as a vector for non-native species: what we need to know. Mar. Pollut. Bull. 113(1-2): 40-43. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2016.08.032
Plastic debris and other floating materials endanger severely marine ecosystems. When they carry attached biota they can be a cause of biological invasions whose extent and intensity is not known yet. This article focuses on knowledge gaps and research priorities needed for, first, understanding and then preventing dispersal of alien invasive species attached to marine litter.
