Description

RAPID (Reducing And Preventing IAS Dispersal) LIFE is a three year project led by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), with Natural England and Bristol Zoo as key partners, that will pilot an innovative approach to Invasive Alien Species (IAS) management in freshwater aquatic, riparian and coastal environments across England.

It will help to conserve species protected under the Birds and Habitats Directives whilst assisting in compliance with the EU Regulation on IAS, Marine Strategy Framework Directive and the Water Framework Directive.

RAPID LIFE will work in freshwater aquatic, riparian and coastal environments in five regions across England. For this action we are focusing on the South East
