Webinar: Invasive non-native species: why they are a problem and how to help protect your sport and the environment

May 13, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Free

Invasive non-native species (plants and animals) can cause serious environmental problems that can be irreversible and interfere with the activities you enjoy by damaging boats, killing fish, and blocking up waterways making it hard to fish or use them for paddling and boating.

In support of Invasive Species Week 2025, The Angling Trust, British Rowing, Paddle UK, and the Royal Yachting Association are holding a joint webinar for all recreational water users to raise awareness of this issue and how water users can help.

Join this webinar hosted by the GB Non-native Species Secretariat to learn about:

  • what invasive non-native species are, and why they are a problem for recreational water users
  • how National Governing Bodies are working together to protect your sport and the environment
  • how clubs are helping to protect the waters they use, and what you can do to help

With speakers from:

  • The Angling Trust
  • British Rowing
  • GB Non-native Species Secretariat
