Developing optimum responses to the aquatic invasive alien species in a changing climate
Biological invasions and ongoing climate change are accelerating ecosystem degradation, with enormous impacts on human well-being. Invasive alien species (IAS) have a detrimental impact on health, the economy, and safety and a profound negative effect on the functioning of ecosystems
Through a three-day workshop in June 2023 the project will:
- Establish a baseline knowledge summary of aquatic IAS
- Discuss how projected climate change will influence the IAS landscape and the potential for trait-based modeling
- Evaluate management actions to minimize IAS introduction and potential methods for elimination/mitigation of established aquatic IAS
- Assess existing early warning systems and the transferability of terrestrial approaches to aquatic systems
- Assess and summarize the implementation challenges for decision-makers, EPAs, municipalities, and regional networks.
