On October 11th, 2024, from 13:00 to 14:00 PM UTC+0, we will have a special session focusing on invasive species in the Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean Sea is experiencing unprecedented challenges from the rapid introduction of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS), predominantly facilitated by the Suez Canal. These species progressively expand from the eastern to the western basin, with Cyprus providing a critical observation point for evaluating early-stage management strategies for invasive species.
Dr. Periklis Kleitou, researcher for the Marine & Environmental Research (MER) Lab will provide insights from various projects throughout Cyprus, addressing the limitations and challenges of current management practices, and suggesting potential improvements for regional strategies.
This webinar will be moderated by Charles Alan Jacoby, strategic program director for the Florida Flood Hub for Applied Research and Innovation, University of South Florida.
