This set of work including many documents provides a comprehensive suite of information on non-native species. This is timely not least in relation to the promise of legislation in this last

The Firth of Clyde Forum, in partnership with Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), have created the guidance, which gives marine businesses and other marine site managers easy-to-follow procedures for creating a biosecurity plan to help to reduce the threat of moving and introducing new species to their site. The Forum has also produced a handy, pocket-sized identification guide and an online reporting system for anyone using our waterways. The pocket guide encourages people to take a photo of anything unusual with their mobile phones and send the pictures to a website where an expert will identify it for them. If the species is identified as being of high concern, then it will automatically be prioritised for action by the authorities.
