Abstract
An Internet Database on aquatic alien species in the Baltic Sea area was developed as an initiative of the Baltic Marine Biologists’ Working Group on Nonindigenous Estuarine and Marine Organisms in 1997; in 2000 a new concept of the online Database appeared with support received from the Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM). This regional project encourages the exchange of data within the Baltic Sea area, providing a competent system regarding biological invasions, vectors of introduction, spread of alien species and their impacts on environment and economy. The Baltic Database represents an important regional node for a future global information system on invasive species.
