3. Belgian authorities pool their resources together to optimize the management of
   invasive alien species (IAS) in river areas and ponds across regional borders
   Scientific exercise: assess the management feasibility for established
   species of EU concern
   Early eradication of emerging IAS
   The LIFE RIPARIAS project

4. Centralise and standardise IAS (observation) data & data transfer
   to European and global infrastructures (GBIF)
   Build an alert system with all available data

20. - Increase the frequency of data publication on GBIF
    - Publish media to GBIF (photos)
    - Add more areas to filter: river subunits, protected areas, other
    management-relevant layers
    - Extend species list to the entire List of Invasive Alien Species of Union
    concern
    - Add French and Dutch translations
