    Aquatic invasive alien species of freshwater and estuarine systems: awareness and prevention in the Iberian Peninsula: actions, key-instruments & lessons learned
    (LIVE INVASAQUA, 2023-10-31) Oliva Paterna, Francisco José; Olivo del Amo, Rosa; López Cañizares, Celia; Guillén Beltrán, Antonio; Torralva Forero, María del Mar; Anastácio, Pedro; Banha, Filipe; Brandão, Pedro; Miranda, R.; Oscoz, Javier; Cobo, Fernando; Barca, S.; Casals, F.; Ribeiro, F.; Perdice, Anabel; Clavero-Sousa, H.; Numa, Catherine; Zoología y Antropología Física; Oliva Paterna, Francisco José; Olivo del Amo, Rosa; López Cañizares, Celia; Garrido García, S.; Facultad de Biología
    The Spanish and Portuguese societies have a limited understanding of the threats posed by invasive alien species (IAS) in aquatic ecosystems. This gap of knowledge and awareness about IAS problems hampers any policy proposed by administrations and stakeholders, contributing to missing an IAS management strategy. We present the actions, main results and some learned lessons achieved in the Environmental Governance and Information LIFE project—LIFE INVASAQUA—that will run between 2018 and 2023 in the Iberian Peninsula. The main goal of INVASQUA was to increase the Iberian public and stakeholders’ awareness of aquatic IAS problems and to develop instruments and tools that will improve an efficient management and Early Warning and Rapid Response frameworks for IAS in freshwater and estuarine ecosystems. This Technical Report focus on tangible results, key-instruments and outcomes of the project to explore some of the problems and lessons encountered in the implementation.

    Outcomes of the LIFE INVASAQUA project: an integrated approach for the prevention and awareness of aquatic invasive species in the Iberian Peninsula
    (Pensoft Publishers, 2025-10-07) López Cañizares, Celia; Olivo del Amo, Rosa; Guillén Beltrán, Antonio; Torralva, Mar; Anastácio, Pedro; Banha, Filipe; Brandão, Pedro; Barca, Sandra; Cobo, Fernando; Vieira-Lanero, Rufino; Casals, Frederic; Sánchez-González, Jorge R.; Perdices, Anabel; Machordom, Annie; Miranda, Rafael; Oscoz, Javier; Numa, Catherine; Clavero-Sousa, Helena; Ribeiro, Filipe; Oficialdegui Aladren, Francisco Javier; Zamora Marín, José Manuel; Oliva Paterna, Francisco José; Zoología y Antropología Física
    Invasive alien species (IAS) pose a growing threat to biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, particularly in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. These species lead to severe environmental and economic impacts by altering habitats, disrupting ecological processes and outcompeting native species. In the Iberian Peninsula, IAS represent a major risk to its unique freshwater and estuarine ecosystems, which are particularly vulnerable to biological invasions due to their connection to human activities and high number of endemic species. Awareness of IAS and their impacts among the general public and stakeholders in Spain and Portugal remains limited, hindering effective management strategies and policies. The LIFE INVASAQUA project (2018–2023), co-funded by the LIFE Programme of the European Commission (LIFE17 GIE/ES/000515), aimed to support management, communication and the dissemination of information on aquatic IAS in the Iberian Peninsula. To achieve this, diverse partners were involved, including universities, research institutions, an environmental news agency and NGOs. Key actions included the production of governance tools such as strategic recommendations and IAS priority lists and communication resources such as a traveling exhibition for the public and codes of conduct for stakeholders. The project delivered 98 training activities to over 2,900 participants and engaged more than 430 institutions and 246,000 people through 598 public events in Spain and Portugal. LIFE INVASAQUA significantly enhanced public awareness and transnational collaboration, evidenced by improved communication, increased social media engagement, and positive shifts in public perception, as revealed by 7,078 records of a survey based on a questionnaire on the Iberian public’s perspectives. These outcomes foster strengthened IAS management frameworks and support implementation of relevant European and national regulations. The project’s long-term efforts focus on developing and replicating actions with the greatest audience reach and the highest impact on public perception of IAS issues. Lessons learned include the importance of sustained public engagement, the need for continued stakeholder collaboration, and the effectiveness of integrating educational campaigns with policy enforcement for sustained success in IAS management.

    The Spanish and Portuguese societies have a limited understanding of the threats posed by invasive alien species (IAS) in aquatic ecosystems. This gap of knowledge and awareness about IAS problems hampers any policy proposed by administrations and stakeholders, contributing to missing an IAS management strategy. We present the final results, impacts and some learned lessons achieved in the Environmental Governance and Information LIFE project—LIFE INVASAQUA—that will run between 2018 and 2023 in the Iberian Peninsula. The main goal of INVASQUA was to increase the Iberian public and stakeholders’ awareness of aquatic IAS problems and to develop instruments and tools that will improve an efficient management and Early Warning and Rapid Response frameworks for IAS in freshwater and estuarine ecosystems. This Technical Report focus on the project visibility results, main impact of actions and developed activities and outcomes of the project to explore some of the problems and lessons encountered in the implementation.
