Description element |
Ireland has achieved Good Environmental Status within its maritime area for non-indigenous species. There have been three newly introduced species identified in Ireland’s maritime area during the assessment period 2013-2018. While there are no established threshold values for this criterion at present, this number of introductions is considered low based on expert judgement and is comparable with the numbers of new NIS described in the OSPAR Intermediate Assessment (2017). |
