Pathways for the Introduction of Terrestrial Non-Native species

Résumé

Non-native organisms are relatively rare in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. This is probably attributable to the comparatively recent human presence and to protection afforded by the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, which prohibits deliberate introductions. Inadvertent introductions do occur, as clothing and luggage of visitors, cargo, fresh produce, vehicles, ships and other means of transport can inadvertently entrain propagules or complete organisms. Because of steadily growing human activities on the continent and climate change trends, the risk of non-native organisms arriving and establishing is likely to increase.
