| Abstract |
In 2016 a non-native species survey was conducted in the Sloehaven, Vlissingen, The Netherlands, following the HELCOM/OSPAR port survey protocol, which is part of the “Joint harmonised procedure for the contracting parties of HELCOM and OSPAR on the granting of exemptions under the international convention for the control and management of ship’s ballast water and sediments, regulation A-4” (HELCOM/OSPAR, 2013). In total 336 samples were taken from 149 different sampling locations in four research areas within Sloehaven region in spring and late summer. In these samples a total of 220 species were identified to the species level of which 30 were non-native. |
