Managing invasive alien species (IAS) is particularly challenging in highly connected marine ecosystems across the world.
Early detection of invasive alien species (IAS) allows a rapid response to control the further spread of invading plants and animals.
The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1262 of 25 July 2019 entered into force on the 15th August 2019
The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1262 of 25 July 2019 adds 17 alien species (4 animals, 13 plants) to the existing list of invasive alien species of Union concern, according to the EU Regulation 1143/2014.
The geographical distribution of the 37 Invasive Alien Species (IAS) listed as Union concern by the Commission Implementing Regulation 2016/1141 has been updated, thanks to additional data provided by Member States Competent Authorities.
EASIN Species Search and Mapping service facilitates the exploration of alien species information from distributed data sources.
The level of attention of Member States about invasive alien species is very high, as is demonstrated by the increasing number of early detection notifications of IAS of Union concern submitted to the European Commission.
The report is based on the best available knowledge, resulting from data aggregated through the European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN) in collaboration with the competent authorities of the Member States.
It is peak season for alien species, also known as non-native species to Europe, whether highly invasive or not. Plants and shrubs are blooming, animals and insects are buzzing around. Take the chance to spot them near your living place, in parks and natural areas, to help protecting biodiversity.
Mesocyclops pehpeiensis Hu, 1943 is a Central-East Asian species, rarely found outside of this area, and when it appears should be considered as alien.
