To mark Invasive Species Week (12-15 May), BIM has created a series of invasive species ID cards for the aquaculture sector to help identify and manage any potential alien species on or near their farms. This latest resource is part of BIM’s overall invasive alien species work programme, supported by the European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund, to enhance data and empower the aquaculture sector through awareness training, risk assessment and biosecurity planning.
Invasive species are recognised as one of the key drivers of biodiversity loss in addition to climate change, overexploitation, changes in land and sea use and pollution.
