Importance of submitting invasive non-native species (INNS) through an official reporting system. 

Records of INNS help us to understand how many are present in Ireland and the rate at which they are spreading. This data can be used to produce species distribution maps, for example on the NBN NI website. Assessing the current trend of a particular INNS can provide key information in future national or locally funded eradication projects.

Using official reporting systems act as an early detection of INNS. This is of particular importance if an alert species species is reported, which may require a rapid response to prevent future problems from developing.
