Organizers: ICMB XII
The Society for the Study of Marine Bioinvasions (SSMB) convenes the International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions (ICMB) approximately every two years in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas and research results about marine invasive species among scientists and policy makers from around the world.
Conference organization and administration are managed by voluntary members of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Society for the Study of Marine Bioinvasions and by each conference's Local Organizing Committee, which is formed by the conference host.
