Description

ABSTRACT: The colonization rate of Atlantic oceanic archipelagos by non-indigenous species of marine macroalgae has been shown to be higher than in continental locations. The NIS macroalgae list in the Azores that started to be compiled since the late eighties has been updated by data collected during the regional monitoring program of marine NIS. Under this program monitoring sites have been mainly located in marinas and their neighboring areas.
