Invasive species carried in ballast water: can upset the balance of the ecosystem and cause damage to fisheries and aquaculture. Pollution, both from the land and from shipping: can lead to “dead zones” where marine life cannot survive, due to depleted oxygen levels. Coastal erosion partly caused by climate change and...
