AbstractThe Banc d'Arguin National Park (PNBA) in Mauritania, a globally significant biodiversity hotspot, faces growing threats from human activities and biological invasions. This study aimed to document marine invertebrate diversity in the PNBA and identify non-native and potentially invasive species. Samples were collected during expeditions in 2021 and 2022, using scuba-diving, drag dredging, and manual intertidal collection across depths of 0 to 20 meters.
