Species Search and Mapping

The Search and Mapping tools allow users to map the occurrences of species in the EASIN Catalogue from the EASIN Geo Database.

Species can be searched by combination of criteria, mapped by using multiple layer types, and geospatial data filtered by Data Partners and EASIN-Lit information.

EASIN collects also the EU geographical distribution of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) of Union concern (published in EU Regulation 1143/2014 and adopted by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2016/1141, 2017/1263, 2019/1262 and 2022/1203 ). The EU geographical distribution of IAS of Union concern is set through a Science for Policy Report, based on the best available knowledge.
