Target description
The number of non-indigenous species which are newly introduced via human activity into the wild, per assessment period is minimised and where possible reduced to zero.
By 2026, endeavour to minimise the number of newly introduced NIS to Ireland through the development of a management plan for NIS and implementation of actions in that plan for coastal and marine areas.
Continue to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of NIS linked to ballast water and hull fouling through the implementation of the Ballast Water Convention.
