How we see the benefits from GIASIP To provide additional value to To mobilize addit ional what GBIF does alone… specimen/ observat ions records relevant t o IAS agenda. To enrich exist ing informat ion syst ems (CABI, GIS D, GIS IN, FishBase, DAIS IE, NOBANIS … ) To provide IAS specific user int erface (e.g. in support of To cont ribut e t o t he development of assessment s et c.) an IAS IT infrast ruct ure (e.g. web services, dat a st andards, t ools et c.)

To demonst rat e t he relevance of GBIF in cont ribut ing t o t he Aichi t arget s (not only IAS ) To enable GIAS IP t o become a t hemat ic discovery syst em.
How we see the benefits from GIASIP What GIASIP shouldn’t do! Duplicat e t he funct ions of t he cont ribut ing informat ion syst ems.

Carcinus maenas Carcinus maenas is a common littoral crab, and an important invasive species, listed among the 100 "world's worst alien invasive species".[2] It is native to the north-east Atlantic Ocean and Baltic S ea, but has colonised similar habitats in Australia, S outh Africa, S outh America and both Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America. It grows to a carapace width of 90 millimetres (3.5 in), and feeds on a variety of molluscs, worms and small crustaceans, potentially impacting a number of fisheries. Its successful dispersion has occurred via a variety of mechanisms, such as on ships' hulls, packing materials, bivalves moved for aquaculture, and rafting. Rough map of the distribution of Carcinus maenas , blue areas are the native range, red areas are the introduced or invasive range, black dots represent single sightings that did not lead to invasion, and green areas are the potential range of the species.
