Exotic, invasive and neo-colonising species: what sets them apart, and how to deal with them

The more eyes there are watching the sea, the more we learn about it. RedPROMAR is a citizen science project created by two biologist friends, Rogelio Herrera and Leopoldo Moro. Thanks to photographs shared online, scientists are learning a great deal about exotic and invasive species.

In partnership with the European Commission

00:03After the application of RedProMan, we have a lot of validators, a lot of users.
00:08We are the ones who impulsate the REMO, but the boat is made between everyone.
00:13Rogelio Herrera was the impulsor of many lines.
00:16One of them was the first platform to detect and inform of the medusas.
00:24The water in winter doesn't freeze and the tropical species that are coming
00:28and they are coming.
00:28With an increase of peces, it's brutal.
00:31In the last 20 years, there have been more than 100 species that were born in Canarias.
00:36To know which species are coming to Cabo Verde,
00:39it will tell us about which species will expand towards the north.
00:43Many species that were native from Canarias now are in the Mediterranean.
00:49For an exotic species, it has to be that it has come to be mediated by the man.
00:54The human activity has caused its arrival.
00:56When it comes, it affects the ecosystem.
01:01It's when it comes to invasoras.
01:02If a species that lives naturally,
01:05without mediating the man in Cabo Verde,
01:07comes to the Canarias and begins to proliferate massively,
01:10we can't consider it any exotic or invasoras.
01:13If it's a primocolonizer or neocolonizer,
01:16it's something that we can't control ever.
01:18What we need to avoid is that human actions
01:21can cause the spread of fauna or flora from one side to the other.
01:24What we need to do is
