The new release of the Invasive Alien Species Europe App v2.3.0 is available
Managing invasive alien species (IAS) is particularly challenging in highly connected marine ecosystems across the world.
Early detection of invasive alien species (IAS) allows a rapid response to control the further spread of invading plants and animals.
The “Invasive Alien Species Europe” smartphone App allows citizens to report sightings of the invasive alien species of Union Concern and take pictures together with complementary information about their observations.
The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1262 of 25 July 2019 entered into force on the 15th August 2019
Version 7.8 of the EASIN catalogue of alien species is online, and contains now 14,085 species
The Invasive Alien Species in Europe App allows citizens to report the presence of IAS of Union concern on the European territory. Data quality assurance of the observations gathered through the App is a major concern.
The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1262 of 25 July 2019 adds 17 alien species (4 animals, 13 plants) to the existing list of invasive alien species of Union concern, according to the EU Regulation 1143/2014.
The LIFE ARTEMIS project aims to contribute to the reduction of the harmful impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) on biodiversity by increasing public awareness and by setting up an efficient early warning and rapid response (EWRR) system to manage their impacts on forests in Slovenia.
EASIN led a recently published paper thank to a fruitful collaboration with EU Member States' experts, on refined baseline inventories of marine non-indigenous species
