ISAP – Invasive Species Action Plan
The project aims both to develop practical advice and descriptions of cost-effective in-situ methods for eradication and control of invasive alien species for stakeholders and end-users as well as to increase knowledge and develop a new methodology to be used by authorities and stakeholders in managing marine invasive alien species in Swedish coastal areas. We will use two invasive model species and a well-defined geographical area (Tjörn-Orust fjord area) in order to focus our research and develop a high degree of detailed local and species knowledge.
SMHI's role in the project is to carry out dispersion analysis to estimate the connectivity and the dispersion risk between different areas.
