Abstract :Ballast water carried by ships is a significant vector to transfer of marine organisms beyond their natural ecoregions, resulting in economic, social and environmental negative impacts. The aim of this study is to investigate the risks of environmental negative impacts of marine invasive species by environmental risk assessment method and identify the high-risk invasive species, vessels and voyages for prioritization of inspections, compliance tests and monitoring activities. All marine species investigated for the risk assessment are chosen from Turkish coasts and the new method for risk classification is developed and specified for local risk assessments of marine invasive species carried by ballast water
Keywords : Invasive species, Ballast water, risk assessment, risk classification
