Invasive species pose significant threats to biodiversity, the economy, and public health by facilitating the spread of infectious diseases. Almost 20% of Europe’s Red Listed species are under threat from invasive organisms and the Mission Atlantic and Artic Lighthouse strives to restore ecosystems and protect biodiversity from threats.
The H2020 project ECOTIP, led by DTU, has conducted extensive mapping of Arctic biodiversity and its responses to various external pressures, including climate change and expanding commercial activities. This research is crucial for developing effective protection and restoration strategies. Building on this work, PHAROS will undertake Demo 4 in Iceland, focusing on the detection, monitoring, and control of invasive pink salmon. This effort aims to revolutionise how invasive species are managed, employing advanced detection and intervention measures.
In this framework, PHAROS will complete the integration of improved coastal monitoring through satellite observations and augmented coastal numerical modelling tools.
