The construction of the canal introduced many non-indigenous species into the Mediterranean. For example, the goldband goatfish ("Upeneus moluccensis") has replaced the red mullet ("Mullus barbatus"); since the 1980s huge swarms of scyphozoan jellyfish ("Rhopilema nomadica") have affected tourism and fisheries along the Levantian coast and clogged power and desalination plants. Plans announced in 2014 to build a new, much larger Suez Canal parallel to the 19th-century canal will most likely boost the economy in the region but also cause ecological damage in a much wider area.
