New published work highlights the importance of Citizen Science in monitoring the spread of invasive species in the Mediterranean Sea.

This study focuses on 5 non-indigenous species (the annelid Branchiomma luctuosum, the shrimp Saron marmoratus and the fish Lutjanus argentimaculatus, Oxyurichthys petersii, and specimens of the group of Abudefduf saxatilis/vaigiensis/troschelii) and one neo-native species (Seriola fasciata) in Greece and Cyprus.
