ACADEMIC YEAR: 2017-2018 NATIONAL COST CENTRE: 112 MODULE LEADER: Nicola Morris MODULE STAFF: None SUMMARY of MODULE CONTENT Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) are species spread by man to areas where they cause economic and ecological damage. INNS are recognized as major issues for conservation and biodiversity and the associated dependent businesses (e.g. agriculture, aquaculture); they cost the UK £1.7billion annually (CABI/Defra 2010) and are second only to habitat loss as a threat to global biodiversity (IUCN 2010). Biosecurity can be considered the combination of our actions and approaches that helps to prevent the introduction of INNS and to limit their spread when introduced. This module will allow students to become proficient in identifying INNS (using a variety of identification tools including apps) and the associated biosecurity issues. They will identify biosecurity risks inherent in INNS management and develop mitigating protocols.
