Scientific document summarising the results of the Species distribution modelling and mapping of the alien species impacts on the European coastal and marine habitats

Grant Agreement: 101082021
Project Acronym: MARCO-BOLO
Project Title: MARine COastal BiOdiversity Long-term Observations
Deliverable Number: D5.5
Work Package Number: WP5
Deliverable Title: Scientific document summarising the results of the Species distribution modelling and mapping of the alien species impacts on the European coastal and marine habitats

This deliverable summarizes the scientific outputs generated by task T5.4.“Mapping the impacts of Non-Indigenous species (NIS) on European coastal and marine habitats, based on multi-disciplinary approaches”. In this task we modelled 82 species identified by marine genetic monitoring programs in 2020-2024 as occurring outside their native range. Models produced predictions of suitable habitat in current and future climate scenarios for these non-indigenous species (NIS) and can be used to identify regions with elevated risk for establishment and spread of alien species.
