From this perspective, ocean governance must be comprehensive, involving social, political, environmental and economic factors as a whole. The shift towards this comprehensive understanding of security was demonstrated by several recent developments including the first formal debate on the global impacts of climate change of the United Nations Security Council in April 2007 and the co-presentation of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The evolving comprehensive security concept is entirely in line with the notion that the problems of ocean space are closely interrelated and should be treated as a whole. On the basis of this development and its experiences since inception in 2002-2003, the UNITAR Series on Sea and Human Security was recently expanded to include a comprehensive concept of human security as it pertains to the seas and oceans: Towards a comprehensive security for seas and oceans.

Chordate features - notochord, nerve cord and post-anal tail - are present only in the larval stage. When the larva, or tadpole settles, it absorbs these parts and metamorphoses into a tail-less, spine-less sessile adult. Ascidians are found all over the world, usually in shallow water with salinities over 2.5%. While members of the Thaliacea and Larvacea swim freely like plankton, sea squirts are sessile animals attached to substratum such as rocks and shells.

When released in a new environment, these unwanted hitchhikers can become invasive, outcompeting and changing native flora and fauna.
