International trade is also linked to biodiversity losses through direct impact of transport and the induced pollution and introduction of pathogens and invasive species.
Ballast water, for example, is one of the major reasons for the introduction of non-indigenous species to new ports and marine ecosystems.
Ballast water is water that is held in the hull of a ship, and this sea water is often discharged or collected at different ports to balance the weight of the ship.
It is estimated that 7,000 species are transferred in ballast water every hour of every day around the world.
