Non-native & invasive species
An increasing threat to our marine environment
Non-native species are species living outside of their native distributional range and are an increasing threat to the marine environment. Non-native species become ‘invasive’ when they thrive, threatening local flora and fauna, ecosystems and natural features. They can quickly take over habitats at the expense of our native species. They can spread disease, block waterways and affect recreational activities by restricting navigation, clogging propellers and affecting local fish populations.
Recreational activities can spread NNS & INNS in a number of ways, including:
- Fouling of vessels and recreational gear, mooring ropes and even clothes/footwear
- Ballast water exchange
- Live bait release
How you can help protect the Plymouth Sound & Tamar Estuaries:
- Follow the Check, Clean, Dry code for boats, canoes and kayaks or anglers
- Anti-foul your vessel safely and regularly
- Download a quick reference guide to identify non-native species
- Report non-native or invasive species to the Marine Biological Association
The Plymouth Sound & Tamar Estuaries European Marine Site is one of the first in the UK to develop a Biosecurity Plan to help prevent the spread of non-native species in the area. To find out more, you can download the Biosecurity Plan.
