OTHER SPECIES WE WISH WE DID NOT SEE, THE INTRODUCED PESTS, THESE INVADERS THREATEN OUR LOcaL MARINE LIFE AND COASTAL INDUSTRIES. Scientists and resource managers will be better placed to manage SA’s marine environments with information collected by monitoring the introduced species as well as the locals. This booklet provides details on how you can play a role in protecting our marine life for future generations – both human and marine. It has been developed by Reef Watch SA, with assistance from Reef Watch Victoria and funding from a SA Community NRM Grant. The booklet is designed to be used on its own or in conjunction with our Feral or In Peril identification slates, which are available for FREE in waterproof (for divers) and water resistant (for boats and fishing) versions. The slates are compact, easy to carry and can be easily attached to other equipment so you can keep your hands free and won’t lose them. To get a FREE set of Feral or In Peril identification slates go to your local boating or tackle store, or email [email protected] Dive in today and discover who’s who in our waters! 4 SPECIES OF INTEREST This booklet includes information on REEF WATCH SA 21 species of interest in three groups: Reef Watch is an award-winning • Species that are not native to community marine monitoring program SA but are established in our that encourages people to monitor marine marine communities life along South Australia’s coast.

Size may also be a factor. Erradicating marine pests is difficult, expensive and often ineffective. Prevention is cheaper and easier and therefore the Australian Government has adopted a national strategy to prevent new pests entering our waters and to manage the ones already here. 7 red alert feral species PEST SPECIES NOT YET IN SOUTH AUSTRALIAN WATERS.
