There are 34 species and 27 established species detected in Finnish territorial waters. Only a part of alien species are causing harm to native species, to the ecosystem function or directly to humans.

Description (activities)
Migration through human activity is carried out either accidentally or intentionally by invasive species. More than half of the non-indigenous species of the Baltic Sea have been included either in ballast water tanks (in water or sediment) or in the ship frame. In the Baltic Sea, shipping is very rich and is on the increase due to the opening of new ports and growing oil spills. There are more than 50 ships in the Baltic Sea ports, most of them from the North Sea and the Black Sea. In addition, heavy traffic in Baltic ports comes from North West Africa, East North America, Asia and the Mediterranean. About 25 % of the alien species are spread through stocking in the Baltic Sea

Migration through human activity is carried out either accidentally or intentionally by invasive species. More than half of the non-indigenous species of the Baltic Sea have been included either in ballast water tanks (in water or sediment) or in the ship frame. In the Baltic Sea, shipping is very rich and is on the increase due to the opening of new ports and growing oil spills.
