How can pandemics impact the management of aquatic invasive species
How can pandemics impact the management of aquatic invasive species
This session will be an opportunity to share knowledge on COVID-19 experiences internationally (negative and positive impacts related to working in aquatic systems) in order to inform IAS management during future pandemics.
Participants need to sign up to participate, and will be provided some homework in advance the workshop.
Workshop – Boudewijn
LIFE RIPARIAS
LIFE RIPARIAS
LIFE RIPARIAS (Reaching Integrated and Prompt Action in Response to Invasive Alien Species) is an innovative project, which aims at optimizing the management of invasive alien species (IAS) in river areas and ponds across Belgium over the next five years. The project is co-funded by the three Belgian regional authorities and the European Union in the framework of the LIFE programme.
This workshop will present information about the LIFE RIPARIAS project and cover the on-going assessment of the impact of management practices on ecosystem services for the different species targeted by the LIFE RIPARIAS project, as well as its methodological challenges.
