Target description
The number of new non-indigenous species introduced through ballast water, ship fouling, and possibly other human activities is decreasing.
The distribution of certain invasive species is, as far as possible, at a level so that significant adverse effects are stable or decreasing.
The Ministry of Environment and Food contributes to regional work regarding establishment of threshold values and determination of good environmental status, and works to ensure that the number of new non-indigenous species and impacts from invasive species are in accordance hereto.
