Cross-border monitoring of biological invasions for conservation of native aquatic biodiversity
In this cooperation project, the Technical University of Dresden and the University of South Bohemia in Budweis are working together to improve the cross-border coordination of aquatic biodiversity conservation in the Elbe and Eger river catchment. The project is funded by the European Union.
Elbe River is a main pathway of invasive aquatic organisms endangering the native species, for instance Ponto-Caspian gobies migrating upstream as well as downstream, or invasive crayfish species. In the Czech-Saxon border region, there are only few localities left that are probably the last refuges of endangered native species in the region (e.g. noble crayfish, stone crayfish, European bullhead, stone loach). They are under continuous pressure by combined anthropogenic stressors, not least aquatic invaders. The public awareness of this problematic will be enhanced. We will build a network for cooperation between researchers, administration and public and develop new solutions and tools for cross-border management of invasive species. An action plan for cross-border management of aquatic invasive species and protection of native biodiversity will be made. A multilingual platform for communication will be built, in the form of an informative web system and a mobile application for species determination and localization for interested citizens.
