Invasive alien species in aquatic environments - Practical information and management insights - Vol. 3
Invasive alien species (IAS) and their impacts represent a growing concern for the managers of natural areas.
That is particularly true for aquatic environments where an array of stakeholders are now taking action. In parallel, public policies are coming into play on the national level and the European Union now has a regulation in this field.
- What is the status of current knowledge on biological invasions? What is the applicable legal framework and what recommendations should be made?
- In the field, which species are managers attempting to address? Which techniques are used, where and how,and what are the objectives and the results achieved?
These 3 volumes in the Knowledge for action series clearly present the situation and propose a scientifically based approach to assist environmental managers in setting up management projects. Though no “cure alls” currently exist, these volumes offer highly useful information while attempting to address the specific aspects of each situation, including the site, the species to be managed and the necessary technical and financial resources.
The reported files are new and will be in the 4th volume to be published in 2021.
