BINPAS (Biological Invasion Impact / Biopollution Assessment System) is a system to translate the existing data on miscellaneous invasive alien species impacts into uniform biopollution measurement units. This tutorial show how to register an assessment unit (the defined territory or water body the assessment is made for), enter data on species abundance and distribution range and its impacts on communities, habitats and ecosystem functioning.
The example is taken from the Lake Druksciai (Lithuania / Belorussia).


Short note
Bioinvasion impact of Caprella mutica was assessed in 8 assessment units within Europe. It causes weak (BPL=1) or strong biopollution (BPL=3) at most cases.
