International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions
ICMB XI would like to express our gratitude to our sponsors and partners for their help in making this conference happen. We realize these are unprecedented times and everyone's budgets are tight but we could not hold this conference without your support.
The Society for the Study of Marine Bioinvasions is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and research results among scientists and policy makers from around the world about marine invasive species. It holds the International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions in furtherance of this goal.
The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's Marine Invasions Research Laboratory aims to understand the patterns, processes, and consequences of invasions in marine ecosystems on local to global scales. Our laboratories on Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and San Francisco Bay in California are focal points for long-term, intensive research, spanning from polar to tropical latitudes.
Conference Host
The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) provides science-based knowledge to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century. SERC leads research on coastal ecosystems—where the land meets the sea—to inform real-world decisions for wise policies, best business practices, and a sustainable planet.
Gold Lionfish Sponsor
PeerJ—publisher of the Open Access journal PeerJ Life & Environment–is proud to sponsor two awards for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) at ICMB XI. The winners of the Best ECR Talk and the Best ECR Poster will each receive a free publication in the journal (subject to peer review) and a feature about their research on the PeerJ Blog. Best of luck to everyone involved!

GiMaRIS specializes in marine research, inventory, and strategy solutions focusing on the unusual, often non-indigenous species found in temperate Atlantic and Indo-Pacific waters. Within the "molecular alien species" and "microscopic imagery" laboratories, organisms from various sources are identified based on their morphology and molecular analyses using taxon specific protocols.
Ruby Star Tunicate Sponsor
Maryland Sea Grant is a state and federally funded organization that supports scientific research, education, and public outreach on the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. We serve as a bridge between scientific expertise and the needs of people who manage, conserve, enjoy, and make their living from the Chesapeake Bay, America’s largest and most productive estuary.
Ruby Star Tunicate Sponsor
The Mid-Atlantic Panel on Aquatic Invasive Species (MAPAIS) was formed in 2003 through the efforts of the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Invasive Species Workgroup. It assists state and federal agencies, and other stakeholders, in developing and implementing strategic, coordinated, action-oriented approaches to prevent and control aquatic invasive species in the Mid-Atlantic region.
