#Invasive species can do serious damage to our waterways and to the quality of angling. Good #biosecurity is essential to stop the spread. Please like and share to spread the word, not the invasives! :-)

@BenjaminGearey Mmmm....yes, by definition, they are. But some are badder than others. A lot of work goes into assessing the impacts, both negative and positive, before any action is taken on them. Best to avoid introducing them in the first place. :-)

We're reaching the end of this fantastic IAS project, and excited to share some of the outcomes with you all....

As well as threatening wildlife, invasive alien species are estimated to cost economic damage of at least €12.5 billion a year in Europe.

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
