note = "Funding Information: The Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management Society (AEHMS) is not a stranger around the Gulf. Indeed, it has been actively organizing various activities in the region for two decades. For example, the Society was instrumental in organizing and publishing the comprehensive book, The Gulf Ecosystem: Health and Sustainability (Khan, Munawar and Price, ) sponsored by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR). This was followed by the GULF I conference in Al Ain, UAE, during March, 2006, which resulted in the publication of a special issue of Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management entitled, The State of the Gulf Ecosystem: future and threats (AEHMS, ). Furthermore, the Society published an extensive review dealing with the state of the Gulf (Hamza and Munawar, ). Later, GULF II was convened during February, 2011, in Kuwait (Changing Gulf ecosystem: Ecology, health and management), followed by a special issue (AEHMS, ). Next, a special symposium was held focusing on the emerging threat of marine invasive species in the Sultanate of Oman, 2014. A special issue entitled, Marine invasive species: Management of ballast water and other vectors, was published with selected papers from the symposium (AEHMS, ). ",
