Abstract: | Invasive species threaten biodiversity worldwide. Ships inadvertently carry marine invasive species to vulnerable ports. An
empirical game theoretic analysis is presented to explore this transboundary biological pollution topic. This analysis utilizes
data on marine invasive species and maritime trade as a vector of impact on native species at different public port locations
along the Pacific coast of the North American countries. Preventative and reactive abatement strategies are compared. The
countries are not identical and a comparison of noncooperative game strategies and payoffs to the cooperative game is presented.
With the asymmetry between countries, optimal sharing rules are quantified. Results show that cooperative and preventative
abatement is optimal compared to all other strategies dealing with stock and flow pollution.
