Alien Ocean
Green crabs from the Baltic Sea. Zebra mussels from the Black Sea. Seagrasses from Japan. Clams from Korea. Dozens of alien specias are infiltrating hundreds of American harbors, bays, and rivers.

How did they get to Northern America and how are they changing the waters? Alien Ocean tells a dramatic story of scallop fisherman, cargo ship captains and pilots, and the scientists who are pioneering a new field called "invasion ecology."

This program was produced with Maryland Sea Grant, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Chesapeake Bay Program.
