IMO-Control of Invasive species and pathogens via Ballast Water
There is now a large body of evidence that both invasive species and pathogens can be transferred by ballast water between ports.
This is the website of the GEF/UNDP/IMO Global Ballast Water Management Programme (GloBallast) which supported by
International Maritime Organization looks at the evidence and up to date research and international regulations concerning ballast
water treatment and management. The site provides numerous technical reports and guidelines that can be downloaded. Link

Aquatic Invasions
Aquatic Invasions is an open access online journal published on behalf of the International Association of Theoretical and Applied
Limnology (SIL) Working Group on Aquatic Invasive Species (WGAIS). It focuses on biological invasions in inland and coastal waters
of Europe, North America and other regions. Link
