Fantastic for @CERIS_ATUSligo to have been a lead partner on this project with @UK_CEH. Multiple sectoral teams across the EU will work to disseminate our co-created IAS materials. Positive spread for once! Also thanks to @Secretariat_IAS
Invasive alien species drive #biodiversity loss but concerted action can manage their spread & impact.
We're working with sectors across Europe to raise awareness:
🦐 Aquatic ornamentals & recreation
🌳 Forests
🦝 Pets
🛻 Soil transport

We found the American brine shrimp and bladder snail can spread inside gulls. Both are invasive in Europe. Watch a snail revive from a pellet after 3 wks in a fridge @InvasiveAliens @EU_Aliens @PondManUK @IEA_UdG @freshwaterbio @freshwaterdata @ebdonana 👉

Just some of the threats to our rivers. We are working hard to help address these and other issues in the rivers of Bristol.
Which issues worry you? Can you think of any that aren't here?

Invasive Alien Species, such as this 🇺🇸 chipmunk, cause #EUBiodiversity loss, bringing diseases or competing with native species
🆕 Report shows that the IAS Regulation is making impact on the ground!
Yet challenges remain: transport, climate change...
