What else is important? Protecting the Sea from invasive species. E.g. this Flagship project tackled Action 2. "Support research on emerging thematic challenges related to clean shipping and its impact on the environment and wildlife in the Baltic Sea": interreg-baltic.eu/all/inter…

Ships often bring in invasive species with them in ballast water tanks or ship hulls that threaten native aquatic organisms in #BalticSea.
#MadeWithInterreg project #COMPLETE translated the existing regulations into a working system to prevent that.

To solve a global issue like harmful organisms introduction by #shipping, you need a #transnational team! #MadeWithInterreg @BalticComplete, partners from 7⃣ countries in the #BalticSea cooperated to fight alien species in our sea.

Our new #sykepublication in collaboration with Polish and Latvian colleagues shows the importance of secondary spread and #leisureboat marinas in establishment of #alienspecies @SYKEint @roskaroope @OkkoOutinen @BalticComplete
The findings of a new research article produced in #BalticComplete by @OkkoOutinen and colleagues indicate that marinas can occur as significant hot spots for the establishment of non-indigenous fouling assemblages.

Check out the very short scary movie on hitchhiking alien species! It is made by @BalticComplete project to provide guidance for boaters to prevent the spread of invasive species in the Baltic Sea.

KMRC researchers have published a joint article that explores the management question related to #biofouling of #ships' underwater structures through qualitative decision analysis. The study is one of the numerous outputs from @BalticComplete project.

Our new paper assesses the impacts of non-indigenous species in the #balticsea Among communities, fish have been impacted the most while the pelagic realm is more affected than the benthic. @BalticComplete @SYKEint @unitartu #sykepublication

(1/x) First time ever a paper where I'm involved is accepted without a revision round! 🥳(Stay tuned @BalticComplete @MerikotkaCentre ) I think I'm going to put this referee comment on the wall of my living room: "The paper contain new scientific findings in the research area...

Aliens in the Baltic Sea? Not if shipping managers utilize the free online tool developed by HELCOM and OSPAR within the @BalticComplete project to minimise the introduction of non-indigenous species.
Check out the tool: helcom.fi/ballastwater

Why are non-indigenous species important and what is HELCOM doing to address them? (not alone, of course, but with OSPAR and the COMPLETE project) @HELCOMInfo @BalticComplete @osparcomm youtube.com/watch?v=NiQWHCKl…
