We ran a practical Workshop on Novel Methods for Early Detection of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) that took place at Cardiff University on the 18th of September. This activity was part of the dissemination activities of the AQUAWALES Research Cluster (http://www.nrn-lcee.ac.uk/aquawales) funded by the Sêr Cymru National Research Network for Low Carbon, Energy and the Environment initiative (NRN-LCEE) and focussed on increasing citizen participation in the prevention of the spread of AIS in collaboration with the Universities of Swansea, Cardiff and Aberystwyth, the Wye & Usk Foundation, Natural Resources Wales, Cardiff Harbour Authority and our industrial partners (FishGen, Pontus Aqua and SkillFish).
