Thousands of idle ships trapped near the Strait of Hormuz could become floating nurseries for invasive marine species July 22, 2026 at 11:25PM

Ships lingering in the Persian Gulf could unintentionally facilitate the spread of harmful marine invaders worldwide. Extended anchorage allows marine organisms to thrive on the hulls, creating significant biofouling concerns that threaten global maritime commerce. These invasive species can inflict extensive ecological and economic harm on coastal areas. It is imperative for nations to join forces to address biofouling issues and prevent future outbreaks of invasion.
