Invasive species can constitute a major threat to biodiversity and ecosystem integrity and in some cases lead to substantial economic loss. Spain is the Mediterranean country of Europe with the highest biodiversity but great deal of it is endangered (i.e. 20%, IUCN 2008).
Freshwater ecosystems are particularly impacted with non-native species introduction including, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. The symposium aims to review the state of the biological invasion in the Iberian Peninsula and set up the agenda for future management and mitigation effort.
