    Dropping plates to pick up aliens: towards a standardised approach for monitoring alien fouling species

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: TG Loureiro --- , South Africa K Peters --- , South Africa TB Robinson --- , South Africa
    Biological invasions pose a major threat to biodiversity and significant investment is required to prevent the introduction of alien species, contain introduced populations and mitigate associated impacts. The implementation of standardised long-term monitoring programmes enables the early identification of new...
