When ships trade across the ocean, they can introduce invasive aquatic species (IAS) to new marine environments, posing one of the greatest threats to the world’s freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems. Panama hosted a series of events for biofouling management specialists from Latin America and the Caribbean region (8-12 July), on how to mitigate the transfer of these invasive species via ships’ hulls or ballast water and how to help close the gender gap for women in biofouling.
