If you're fishing or boating in the #BayofFundy, keep an eye out for invasive Pancake Batter Tunicate (aka sea vomit🤢)! See the reporting details below.

#reportinvasives @DFO_MAR @FishOceansCAN

Fisheries and Oceans @FishOceansCAN

Look familiar? 👀 The pancake batter tunicate– sometimes called sea vomit– is an aggressive invasive species that can outcompete local species like scallops for food and space.

Help us stop its spread by reporting sightings: http://ow.ly/ax6j50MxSXP

Coming to this a bit late😬but it's well worth checking out the new @GreenerClare invasive species website https://yoursay.clarecoco.ie/invasive-species-clare.
It includes videos on identifying some of the more common invasive plants and fact sheets with synopsis on control.

In particular, anyone fishing in Waterford Harbour & Rivers Suir & Barrow please look out for mitten crab or any crab upstream in freshwaters. The 'mittens' are clearly seen in this @UCDInEcoLab media. Visit https://invasives.ie/species-alerts for info & to #ReportInvasives @InlandFisherIE

Invasive Ecology (InEco) Laboratory @UCDInEcoLab

Swabbing the mitten crab found near Cheekpoint. These invasive crabs can carry the crayfish plague. Please report if you find any Mitten crabs in Barrow or Suir rivers. #ReportInvasives
