About

DEFRA awarded a contract to The Marine Biological Association of the UK for comprehensive marine non-native species (NNS) surveys along the coasts of England and Wales.

The project involved Rapid Assessment Surveys (RAS) to detect priority marine NNS, focusing mainly on marinas and selected ports where feasible.

The majority of sites were previously surveyed by the MBA in 2014-16, and repeating surveys using the same protocols allowed robust comparison of data over an approximately 8-year interval, identifying new species arrivals, colonisations/losses, range extensions/contractions, and evolving regional differences in the prevalence of priority marine NNS.

The contract value was AUD 49,956.
