Anticipated changes in the global ocean climate will affect the vulnerability of marine ecosystems to the negative effects of non‐indigenous species (NIS). In the Arctic, there is a need to better characterize present and future marine biological introduction patterns and processes. We use a vector‐based assessment to estimate changes in the vulnerability of a high‐Arctic archipelago to marine NIS introduction and establishment.

• Global forecasts of shipping traffic and biological invasions to 2050 (2019, unknown): “annual number of invasions (see equation (11)).”
• Early detection of aquatic invaders using metabarcoding reveals a high number of non‐indigenous species in Canadian ports (2016, background): “Mortality of organisms present within ballast water is known to increase with time, and the thermal reproductive requirements of surviving animals may pose a barrier to species invasion (Ware et al., 2014).”
