WorldStranded ships in Strait of Hormuz could trigger marine ‘superspreading’ event

Biologists have warned in a new report that ships currently stranded in the Strait of Hormuz could create a worldwide ecological risk when shipping returns to normal. They say the vessels may carry invasive species to locations around the globe after movement through the waterway resumes. The warning focuses on the possible spread of non-native organisms linked to the ships’ prolonged stay and later departure.
