Project ALIENA, aims to create a shared knowledge base and a collaborative monitoring system to protect Adriatic Sea biodiversity from Non-Indigenous Species (NIS).
Through joint monitoring and modelling efforts focused on these species, the project seeks to:
- Develop early warning solutions for effective marine management.
- Contribute to biodiversity conservation and public health protection.
- Improve shared protocols for NIS detection, monitoring and management.
- Increase stakeholder awareness of NIS-related challenges.
