Icelandic MNIS
Today 36 marine non-indigenous species (MNIS) have been recorded in Icelandic waters and three cryptogenic. Most of the introduced species were first detected in south-western Iceland where the sea temperature is highest and the busiest harbours are located. Further information on each species is given by clicking on the buttons above.
Náttúrustofa Suðvesturlands (SINRC) monitors colonization of marine non-indigenous species in eight harbors around Iceland. Additionally fifteen harbors have also been inspected. Map: ©SG 2020.
