• Expert Volunteers Network to monitor the evolution of invasive flora in priority areas in the Costa Brava
Engagement
• Promotion of participatory networks for the management of invasive flora
• Collaborative creation of pro-biodiversity market tools
• Assessment of the perception of the impact of invasive plants on cultural ecosystem services
Rapid response
• Development of an invasion risk assessment system
• Invasion risk maps for 30 invasive and potentially invasive species on the Costa Brava
Eradication
• Control of invasive plants in the Cap de Creus Cliffs using new and adapted protocols
• Coordinated strategy for private gardens
Transfer and replication
• Integration of the invasion risk assessment system and eradication protocols on a regional scale
• Foundations for the replication in similar areas at national and European level
