Meet AlienSMART! AlienSMART is developing a WebGIS Decision-Support System to improve the reporting and management of invasive alien species. #AlienSMART #InvasiveSpecies #SEI2026 #InvasionS29 May 2026 16:38 +0000at://did:plc:waayulbctr4dnbec2grdxqho/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmyxwarlvc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/invasionscience.bsky.social/post/3mmwdbzjsr22n🤝 SMART approach in action. Detecting, mapping and understanding invasive alien species is only part of the story. To act, we need tools built with the people who use them. #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI202628 May 2026 15:23 +0000at://did:plc:waayulbctr4dnbec2grdxqho/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmwdbzjsr22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/invasionscience.bsky.social/post/3mmw2a54sps2n🌿 Yesterday we held the second stakeholder meeting of the @onestop-project.eu Portugal Living Lab! We shared CamALIEN updates, presented new OneSTOP technologies — AMITrap and airDNA — and promoted a citizen science session on detecting and reporting silent invaders. 🪱🦋🧬 #OneSTOP #SEI202628 May 2026 12:41 +0000at://did:plc:waayulbctr4dnbec2grdxqho/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmw2a54sps2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/invasionscience.bsky.social/post/3mmtuh2fclc2s👽 Alien among us. Not all “aliens” come from space. Some are transported into new territories, establish, and start to spread... #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI202627 May 2026 15:52 +0000at://did:plc:waayulbctr4dnbec2grdxqho/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmtuh2fclc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/invasionscience.bsky.social/post/3mmr6m7p5tk22 📍 Location confirmed. One sighting is a data point. Many sightings become a map. Understanding where species appear, how they spread, and what patterns they form across the territory is what turns single observations into actionable knowledge. #ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI202626 May 2026 14:16 +0000at://did:plc:waayulbctr4dnbec2grdxqho/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmr6m7p5tk22https://bsky.app/profile/invasionscience.bsky.social/post/3mmonwzrfks2v📡 Signal detected. Some signals go unnoticed in the landscape. Others only reveal themselves when we start looking. This week, we’re sharing 5 clues.
