This plenary session will address the role of anthropogenic activities in accelerating species invasions of estuarine habitats, and the compromises faced by environmentalists, managers, and regulators who must use extremely limited resources to choose which invasions to attempt to control and how control efforts must be approached. Three keynote speakers will present different, and possibly discordant, perspectives on this topic.
