We need a way of identifying an invasive/alien/pest/weed species observed in the same way that we can now do with the 'conservation status' facet.

Invasives are extremely important to the Australian economy and we need a simple mechanism of identifying this class of species in any situation in the ALA. For example, SP Area reports need to list the number of 'invasives' in the area and link to a list of the species.

There is no standardized terminology of invasive 'status' but that parallels the differentiation of conservation status between States and Territories. Conclusion: We use whatever 'invasive' information is available to tag any species. People such as Melodie McGeoch are working on this internationally and nationally but we urgently need to expose some form of 'straw man' until the domain gets its act together. The 'straw man' will very likely play a key role in developing an agreed strategy.

After discussions and writing a paper: This needs to be community driven as there is no nationally agreed invasiveness classification. Closing.
