Manx Wildlife Trust raise awareness about unwanted invaders
Invasive species pose a major threat to the Island's bio-diversity and need to be monitored.
That's according to Lara Howe, the marine officer at the Manx Wildlife Trust.
The charity is asking members of the public to be on the look out for invasive species in the Island's waterways, harbours and sea, and raise awareness of the damage they can cause.
It's produced a guide to help identify the unwanted invaders as part of Manx Wildlife Week.
Ms Howe says if we don't keep track of these species, which include Wireweed, Pacific Oysters, and Australian Barnacle, they could cause havoc:
