Work Package 1 – Policy Development
Contact: Dr Cathy Maguire
An extensive review of invasive species in Ireland has already been undertaken so it is proposed to build on that review and the work already completed by focusing on high impact species and their management in the context of the WFD.
Objective 1: To carry out a literature review of research on alien invasive species in Ireland and internationally that can be used to inform policy development and management with a focus on high risk species.
Objective 2: Develop a monitoring and reporting strategy for high impact invasive species.
Objective 3: Develop a strategy for containing and preventing high impact alien invasive introductions.
