Reducing the Impacts of Non-native Species in Europe

Closed

RINSE delivers a cross-border approach to the targeting and management of invasive non-native species (INS) in the 2 Seas Area. The introduction and spread of these species beyond their native range can cause serious ecological damages as well as a negative impact on the local economies. RINSE will make an important contribution to the new EU Strategy on Invasive Species by developing cross-border tools to improve the prioritised targeting of INS, enhancing the capacity to tackle the issue of INS among a range of select stakeholders and developing new approaches and best practices for the management of INS, by delivering field trials and pilot projects. Key results from RINSE will also be fed into CABI’s Invasive Species Compendium - an encyclopedic resource that supports decision-making in INS management, worldwide.
