Abstract
Abstract : Every year new animal species are inadvertently or intentionally introduced into the marine and estuarine waters of the United States. Originating overseas and from other U.S. waters, invasive species have the potential to disrupt local ecosystems, fisheries, and human infrastructure. Biological invasions directly impact the mission of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) through its responsibilities in maintenance of our nation's waterways, erosion control, water resource management, and estuarine and marine habitat restoration. This report describes the biology and ecology of invasive marine animals and identifies specific organisms that may pose a threat to USACE activities. This includes species already established in U.S. waters and those not yet present that are likely to pose a threat if introduced.
