@zoopel.bsky.social just presented our MODAS concept at the #GuardIAS Conference: a database flag for alien species detected solely through molecular tools. By integrating these “invisible invaders” into IAS systems, we can prioritise validation, boost early warning, and modernise biosecurity.

Two presentations from Saudi Arabia in the #GuardIAS Conference: baseline mapping across Red Sea and Arabian Gulf has uncovered 200+ potential NIS - a new national roadmap is turning these data into concrete #biosecurity action. Saudi Arabia is emerging as a regional leader in marine biosecurity.

Heartbreaking truth: At just 1.5°C of #warming (where we already are), 70–90% of #CoralReefs could vanish. At 2.0°C, almost all (>99%) are gone. We’re watching a living wonder cross a #TippingPoint.
