Invasive Plant Problems and Solutions
Did you know?
Under the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 it is an offence to “plant, disperse, allow or cause to disperse, spread or otherwise cause to grow” a wide range of non-native species that are listed in the Third Schedule of these Regulations.
The cause
Many non-native species that have become invasive were introduced by collectors of plants in the 19th century.
Due to globalisation the issue has accelerated and many more species are hitchhiking on cargo and in ballast water. Garden centres are continuing to contribute to the problem by selling these plants as ornamental or as oxygenators for aquaria.
The problem
Invasive weeds on land or in water have no natural controls, such as predator or pathogen control. This results in their rapid expansion across land and water, often resulting in significant disruption of the infested habitat and its residents. This can also result in serious loss to the local economy as angling and other leisure activities can be severely restricted.
What you can do
- Always disinfect your boots, equipment, boats and trailers on leaving the water.
- Encourage your co-workers or angling companions to disinfect.
- Organise invasive species training sessions for your colleagues.
- Report any plant, invertebrate, fish or animal that you might think is invasive to Invas Biosecurity
