چکیده انگلیسی
Constructed reefs can contribute to non-indigenous species (NIS) introductions or range expansions in several ways. Reef materials that retain developed fouling communities or ballast, such as decommissioned petroleum platforms, inactive or derelict ships, and bridge rubble are potential NIS vectors. Habitat provided by reefs placed in areas devoid of natural hard bottom or structure may be colonized by NIS propagules dispersed from natural or anthropogenic sources. A network of reef structures may also create NIS corridors for linking previously unconnected areas. Due to its level of offshore habitat alteration, changing environmental conditions, volume of shipping and boating traffic, and subtropical location, the Gulf of Mexico may be particularly vulnerable to NIS introductions and has a number of documented NIS. Non-indigenous or invasive species concerns have delayed and increased costs for some recent reef construction projects. The linkages between NIS and constructed reefs are reviewed, and approaches for anticipating, assessing, and controlling introductions are recommended. Using basic information about NIS risks, reef planners can begin to evaluate unintended consequences and incorporate risk management measures to reduce future introductions. Prevention is the most effective risk reduction approach because controlling marine NIS after introduction is expensive and offers limited probability for success.
