Following the successful launch of the HARMONY project’s underwater CCTV camera at the Malta National Aquarium last summer, within the same project, a team within the Department of Geosciences of the Faculty of Science (Prof. Alan Deidun, Dr Adam Gauci, Johann Galdies) conceived the design of an animation clip on marine Invasive Alien Species (IAS) so as to better inform the general public about the hazards posed by the entry of such species.
The clip, which has been uploaded on social media, summarises in layman’s terms the salient points concerning the mechanisms which lead to the transfer of marine IAS from one geographical regional to another, to their ecological and socio-economic impacts as well as to possible management solutions.
