“…Sampling techniques that maximize search area per unit cost, and minimize laboratory costs are likely to return the best cost-benefit ratios (Hayes et al 2005). Technology already used for other purposes could be easily adapted for use in monitoring nonindigenous species.…”

“…Technology already used for other purposes could be easily adapted for use in monitoring nonindigenous species. Examples include the use of gene probes, shotgun sequencing, microarrays, and genetic polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based tools for quickly detecting small aquatic organisms , Tyson et al 2004, Hayes et al 2005, and remote sensing for identifying habitats vulnerable to invasion (Chong et al 2001, Schnase et al 2003.…”

“…Unfortunately, the effort required to detect a species is inversely proportional to its population size (Barry 2004, Hayes et al 2005. Hence cost-effective management walks a fine line between the high costs of surveys for small populations, and the high costs of eradication if a survey fails to detect a nascent population in the initial stages of invasion.…”

Abstract. The Ecological Society of America has evaluated current U.S. national policies and practices on biological invasions in light of current scientific knowledge. Invasions by harmful nonnative species are increasing in number and area affected; the damages to ecosystems, economic activity, and human welfare are accumulating. Without improved strategies based on recent scientific advances and increased investments to counter invasions, harm from invasive species is likely to accelerate. Federal leadership, with the cooperation of state and local governments, is required to increase the effectiveness of prevention of invasions, detect and respond quickly to new potentially harmful invasions, control and slow the spread of existing invasions, and provide a national center to ensure that these efforts are coordinated and cost effective.Specifically, the Ecological Society of America recommends that the federal government take the following six actions: (1) Use new information and practices to better manage commercial and other pathways to reduce the transport and release of potentially harmful species; (2) Adopt more quantitative procedures for risk analysis and apply them to every species proposed for importation into the country; (3) Use new cost-effective diagnostic technologies to increase active surveillance and sharing of information about invasive species so that responses to new invasions can be more rapid and effective; (4) Create new legal authority and provide emergency funding to support rapid responses to emerging invasions; (5) Provide funding and incentives for cost-effective programs to slow the spread of existing invasive species in order to protect still uninvaded ecosystems, social and industrial infrastructure, and human welfare; and (6) Establish a National Center for Invasive Species Management (under the existing National Invasive Species Council) to coordinate and lead improvements in federal, state, and international policies on invasive species.Recent scientific and technical advances provide a sound basis for more cost-effective national responses to invasive species. Greater investments in improved technology and management practices would be more than repaid by reduced damages from current and future invasive species. The Ecological Society of America is committed to assist all levels of government and provide scientific advice to improve all aspects of invasive-species management.

“…Although the costs of sequencing are dropping, and even if the ARMS-based approach is more cost effective than morphological-based one (Hayes et al, 2005), overall costs may still be high. Moreover, protocols for the assessment of biodiversity associated to ARMS rely upon the use of molecular approaches and thus the use of such devices present the same problems described above for metabarcoding.…”

Implementing and Innovating Marine Monitoring Approaches for Assessing Marine Environmental Status

et al. 2016

Marine environmental monitoring has tended to focus on site-specific methods of investigation. These traditional methods have low spatial and temporal resolution and are relatively labor intensive per unit area/time that they cover. To implement the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), European Member States are required to improve marine monitoring and design monitoring networks. This can be achieved by developing and testing innovative and cost-effective monitoring systems, as well as indicators of environmental status. Here, we present several recently developed methodologies and technologies to improve marine biodiversity indicators and monitoring methods. The innovative tools are discussed concerning the technologies presently utilized as well as the advantages and disadvantages of their use in routine monitoring. In particular, the present analysis focuses on: (i) molecular approaches, including microarray, Real Time quantitative PCR (qPCR), and metagenetic (metabarcoding) tools; (ii) optical (remote) sensing and acoustic methods; and (iii) in situ monitoring instruments. We also discuss Danovaro et al. Innovative Approaches in Marine Monitoring their applications in marine monitoring within the MSFD through the analysis of case studies in order to evaluate their potential utilization in future routine marine monitoring. We show that these recently-developed technologies can present clear advantages in accuracy, efficiency and cost.

“…Each method has advantages and disadvantages (Madsen and Bloomfield 1993), and selections should be made carefully considering cost, resources and objectives. Noting the presence of a conspicuous invasive species forming a surface canopy, for instance, may be accomplished through simple search surveys designed considering the species' morphology, life cycle and habitat (Hayes et al 2005); whereas monitoring the status and distribution of a rare species may require the use of more intensive multi-scale methods (Stohlgren et al 1995(Stohlgren et al , 1998.…”
