This App is the second of a set of 3 portable identification guides for Apple touch-screen devices made by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute that cover the regional shore-fish faunas of the three tropical American marine regions: the Tropical Eastern Pacific, the Greater Caribbean (Caribbean and adjacent areas), and Brazil. This stand-alone app works independently of the internet and has Complete English and Spanish interfaces
The atlas tracks reports of breeding by seabirds in the West Indies and Caribbean region and is largely a species list and biological database, The Site Also Publishes “Caribbean Seabird Initiative: Invasives” Newsletter which is focused on restoring seabird breeding sites in the Caribbean by removing invasive species.
The information presented here was in part generated by the Seabird Working Group of the Society for the Conservation and Study of Caribbean Birds and the More than 85 naturalists and professional scientists who have contributed to date.
Report produced by the public and private partners attending the Ornamental Plants and Invasive Alien Species Workshop in Saint Lucia 2011 under the project: Mitigating the Threats of Invasive Alien Species in the Insular Caribbean
This CIAS-Strategy seeks to establish a framework for Invasive Alien Species management in the Caribbean Region by addressing the following two main challenges: The need to strengthen existing national and regional programmes that protect the natural resources which are under pressure from the entry and establishment of Invasive Alien Species through increased global trade and travel and The need to develop new or enhance current national and regional coordination and cooperation mechanisms that will allow a more rapid and efficient response to new and existing alien species invasions.
This site which is the culmination of the efforts of many scientists; national; regional and international organisations is a collaborative effort to address the issue IAS in the Caribbean.
In this publication summaries are given of the main case studies presented at the workshop on invasive alien species, both those with severe economic impacts and certain others posing serious threats to the region’s environment.
This report represents the preliminary steps in the triage and identification of pathways of high risk in the Caribbean. Its objective is to suggest priority areas for international cooperation in the management of risk from invasive species introductions via trade-related pathways in the Caribbean.
