Describe the results/achievements of the activities
ICES has produced a review of the issue on Evaluating and mitigating introduction of marine non-native species via vessel biofouling. as part of the recommendations on enhancing the IMO guidelines on biofouling in 2019-2020.
In 2018 GEF, UNDP and IMO, the GloFouling Partnerships includes interventions at the global, regional, national and local levels. Based on its initial focus in 12 developing countries in 7 maritime regions, the Project will help develop global best practices and tools, and demonstrate practical ways of overcoming barriers for their implementation, creating and enabling an environment for technology development and transfer. It is expected that by the end of the project all participating countries will demonstrate significant improvement in their legal, policy and institutional structures, with corresponding reduced risks from IAS introduction through biofouling.
