Submit records for the FSC 'Invaders of the natural kind' project in Fermanagh

Invaders of the natural kind

Invasive non native species are a great threat to biodiversity. The ecological/economic impacts can be huge and have far reaching consequences in terms of damage caused. Better understanding is needed to limit this impact.

 

This year Field Studies Council (FSC) Derrygonnelly have successfully obtained funding through the NIEL NGO Challenge Fund to deliver an exciting project called Invaders of the natural kind. Through partnership with Fermanagh District Council (FDC) and the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR) we hope to help tackle the problem of invasives in the Fermanagh district.

Important: if you use this site regularly, please remember to login.

This will give you access to the My Records report which allows you to manage your data.

If you've got lots of records to submit, then we recommend breaking the records up into several batches as it is very easy to accidentally click the back button on the browser and lose the data entered so far.

Please enter the species you saw and any other information about them.

The Species field will autocomplete as you type.
Tip: add an asterisk (*) before the species name if you want to search for part of the name e.g. *porpoise will return both common and harbour porpoise. If you can't find the species using the common name, try using the scientific name. Click on the species you want to choose.)

Determiner: if you have had an expert confirm the identification of a record please add their name in the 'Determiner' field. This will help when the record is being verified.
