EnviroAqua can help you control invasive species be they aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna or non-native fish.

Invasive Species Control Expertise

EnviroAqua are fully equipped to help you control invasive species whether it be aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna or non-native fish that may not be indigenous to the catchment area or are stated for removal under ILFA (importation of live fish act 1980) licensing or the WCA (wildlife & Countryside Act 1981).

Even native species can become a problem to your fishery / fish farm and restrictive measures can be implemented in a safe, environmentally friendly way which is in keeping with animal welfare issues.

You may find as a land or fishery owner, that by law you have a duty of care to notify and remove certain species listed by DEFRA (Department of Environment, food & Rural affairs) and CEFAS (Centre of Environment Fisheries and Aquaculture Science.)
