Climate change focus of 25th annual Invasive Species Workshop

As the planet grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, its impact on invasive species has emerged as a concern that demands attention. The 25th annual Invasive Species Workshop explored this intricate relationship, delving into the ways that climate change alters the behavior, distribution, and impact of these unwanted organisms. With a focus on coastal habitats, the workshop examined how rising sea levels, altered weather patterns, and changing temperatures can disrupt ecosystems, making them more susceptible to invasion. Participants analyzed case studies and shared insights on adaptation strategies to mitigate the damage caused by invasive species under these shifting conditions. The workshop highlighted the urgent need for collaboration between researchers, policymakers, and conservationists to confront the compounded challenges posed by climate change and invasive species.
