CollapseAquatic Invasive Species in the Mid-Atlantic. Vector Management: A Prevention Solution. Regional Workshop 2009
Description: "On December 2, 2009, Maryland Sea Grant teamed up with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Panel of the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force to host a workshop focused directly on examining and controlling exotic species vectors...At the workshop a panel of scientists and policy experts addressed how research, regulation, planning, and technology have combined to manage the movement of invasive species through ballast water. These approaches can provide a model for coping with ship fouling and other vectors that marine species might use to travel the seas or the airways or even the footpaths."
