The European Commission today proposed a new Regulation to prevent and manage the rapidly growing threat from invasive species.
The major update of EASIN includes: 'Show Species' functionality, Time Slider, HCMR-EEA is a new Data Partner
EASIN-Lit is a new EASIN product, providing data on species distribution (georeferenced records and distribution ranges) from the literature.
The CIESM Atlas of Exotic Species provides a comprehensive survey of recent marine alien species in the Mediterranean.
The marine part of the catalogue has been updated. Some native birds previously wrongly classified as aliens have been removed.
'Impact' has been revised, and now classificaton to 'high impact' species is based on the lists of DAISIE, NOBANIS, SEBI, and CABI.
In the information provided for each species (by clicking on the green button next to the name of the species in the results of the search widgets) we have now added links to existing factsheets.
The team of the European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN), from the Joint Research Centre (JRC), organised a meeting at Hotel Europa, Ispra, Italy, on 6-7 December 2012.
All changes in relation to the previous version refer to marine species. New species that were reported in 2012 have been added, and a few errors in Taxonomy have been corrected.
