A warning at #GuardIAS Conference from @bgallardo.bsky.social : drought “solutions” like reservoirs and inter-basin transfers can become #invasion highways. With quagga mussels primed to expand under #ClimateChange, integrating #biosecurity into water-infrastructure planning is no longer optional.

A lively #GuardIAS talk from Mar Santos-Simón: marina-based citizen science is turning boaters into frontline biofouling sentinels. With hands-on sampling, rapid alien-species checks, and “adopt-a-collector” monitoring, these events are boosting awareness and expanding surveillance capacity in Italy
