Abstract Although the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) does not refer explicitly to alien species (AS), it is clear that invasive AS (IAS) are considered a pressure on WFD water bodies. This article discusses results of questionnaire sent all EU Member States, demonstrating considerable variability in way data used implementing WFD. Responses were received from 18 countries. Most countries define similar way, but there discrepancies, for example, use historical dates determine...
Invasive non-native species (NNS) are internationally recognized as posing a serious threat to global biodiversity, economies and human health. The identification of invasive NNS is already established, those that may arrive in the future, their vectors pathways introduction spread, hotspots invasion important for targeted approach managing introductions impacts at local, regional scales. aim this study was identify which marine brackish present systems northeastern Arabia area (Arabian Gulf...
The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water Sediments (BWM Convention) aims to mitigate introduction risk harmful aquatic organisms pathogens (HAOP) via ships' ballast water sediments. BWM has set regulations ships utilise exceptions exemptions from management under specific circumstances. This study evaluated local regional case studies provide clarity situations, where could be excepted or exempted without risking recipient locations new...
Policies and legislation for the importation use of non-native (NN) freshwater fishes have been rapidly evolving in several countries around world response to heightened evidence their adverse ecological economic impacts. In China, already large growing number NN being imported from foreign or translocated within China has necessitated development management strategies supported by policies at both national regional levels. Despite increasing awareness damage caused fishes, such initiatives...
Globally, the ecological and socio-economic impacts of non-indigenous species (NIS) are increasingly recognised, prompting development international policies legislation that aim to reduce these impacts. Monitoring programmes required assess compliance with progress towards management targets. However, monitoring often need fulfil requirements several legislative drivers, as well adapt changing political circumstances environmental targets, thereby face design implementation challenges. In...
Abstract The European Non‐native Species in Aquaculture Risk Analysis Scheme (ENSARS) was used to assess one of the most popular aquaculture species world, striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (Sauvage, 1878), two locations southern Anatolia (Turkey). overall mean risk score generated for P. by ENSARS Organism module (which assesses risks introduction, establishment, dispersal and impact) indicated that poses a medium under current climatic conditions. All other modules rendered...
The marine environment is a complex system, and with growing human demand, the sustainable use of multiple resources continually challenged. increasing complexity overlapping activities causes pressures on environment. Here, we review fundamental aspects for effective management, particularly role science scientific evidence to inform policy decision making. outcomes internal expert workshops were used analyse currently applied management practices in UK using four sectors English waters...
