GES description
Non-indigenous (invasive) species introduced into the environment as a result of human activities (antropogenic influence) have not caused significant changes in the ecosystem.
The number of non-indigenous species which are newly introduced via human activity into the wild, per assessment period (6 years), measured from the reference year as reported for the initial asessment under Article 8(1) of Directive 2008/56/EC, is minimised and where possible reduced to zero.
