#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! :-)

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.
The #BewareOfAliens awareness campaign focuses on key messages for key audiences. Download free materials from

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

Scientists in Germany have discovered a species of bacteria in healthy ash trees that seems to provide natural protection against ash dieback!

Our own Darren Garland beaming in to #ICAIS2022 all the way from Sligo, discussing elodea control measures on Lough Arrow. Great work, in conjunction with local anglers and IFI amongst others.
