Is it alien to you? Share it!!! Citizen scientists monitoring non-indigenous species in Greece

Abstract

Citizen science is emerging as an important tool for monitoring marine non-indigenous species (NIS), complemented by the recent improvements of the technological applications and social media. In 2016, iSea, launched the citizen science project "Is it alien to you? Share it!!!" aiming at improving the inventory of NIS and our knowledge on the distribution and the expansion of NIS in Greece and the contiguous seas.
