We warmly welcome to EASIN Team Ioannis Giovos, marine biologist with a background on conservation of Mediterranean endangered marine megafauna species.
EASIN is devoting increasing attention to Citizen Science, to engage with a wider public and join efforts in alien species monitoring and management. To this end, the Smart App Invasive Alien Species in Europe constitutes one of the available tools for citizens' involvement. To increase citizens' awareness, tailored news and a dedicated webpage have been created, and social media are actively used to disseminate information.
