in their hands. Classroom videos, teacher curriculum and more

| Introduced Marine
Species of Hawaii: Bishop Museum and University of Hawaii |
This brief guide
was assembled to provide information concerning some of the
most common marine alien species to people who spend time
in the coastal waters of Hawaii. Some of the more recent discoveries
of alien species have been made by photographers and aquarium
collectors. It is hoped that when individuals observe animals
not previously seen, they will bring them to the attention
of the appropriate people. This guidebook is by no means comprehensive.
An additional 250+ species of algae and animals are not yet
included. |
