Invasive non-native species (INNS) don’t recognise boundaries. Rivers, estuaries and coastal waters are connected, yet biosecurity and risk management are often considered in isolation.
Watch APEM’s free 30-minute webinar to discover why a catchment-to-coast approach is becoming increasingly important for managing invasive species risks across freshwater, transitional and marine environments.
Whether you’re responsible for environmental compliance, asset management, conservation or infrastructure, this webinar will provide practical insights into identifying and managing INNS risks more effectively.

Why a Catchment-to-Coast Approach?
Managing invasive non-native species (INNS) requires more than site-specific action. Species can spread through interconnected waterways, infrastructure, recreational activities and operational pathways, making coordinated, strategic management essential.
Drawing on APEM’s extensive experience across the UK and internationally, our specialists explore how organisations can take a broader, evidence-led view of INNS risk, prevention, monitoring and long-term management.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Why connected freshwater, estuarine and marine environments should be considered together
- How integrated risk assessment supports more effective INNS management planning
- The value of shared evidence in supporting coordinated decision-making across catchments
- Practical considerations for developing proportionate, evidence-based management strategies
Whether you’re developing an INNS management plan, managing environmental risk or looking to improve resilience against INNS, you’ll gain valuable insights you can apply within your organisation.
Access the recording below and discover how a catchment-to-coast approach can strengthen your organisation’s INNS management strategy.
