Form for reporting observations on alien species

Report observations of invasive or introduced species in the coastal areas of Finland. Information of the observations will be recorded in a database and used in estimating their distribution range. To assure for correct species identification, we encourage you to upload images of the species. If possible, include a scale bar, such as a match or a pencil, in the pictures. Finnish game and Fisheries Institute and Finnish Environmental Institute appreciate your help!
