Scenario-based risk-analysis workshop for the management of marine invasive species in a changing climate
Session 4
The session is carried out as a workshop where Swedish authorities gather experts on marine invasive alien species. The goal is to identify and bridge knowledge-gaps to develop an action plan for the likely introduction of a new invasive species in Swedish coastal waters – the door knocking blue crab (Callinectes sapidus).
The session starts with researchers giving short presentations on the developing methods and tools for handling marine IAS, with the blue crab in Sweden as an applied management example. Presentations will follow the invasion curve to:
i) prevent introductions
ii) prerequisites for early detection and action
iii) track and identify
iv) combat and exploit as a resource.
The session ends with a panel discussion between authorities and researchers to jointly produce an action plan for the management of the blue crab in Swedish waters.
