INNS Mapper

INNS Mapper is an app and website for the reporting of sightings, surveys and management of INNS (Invasive Non-Native Species) in England, Wales and Scotland. INNS Mapper is free to use and aims to provide an effective resource to support INNS programmes and coordinate efforts.

Invasive non-native species (INNS) are species that have been accidentally or intentionally introduced by people and cause negative impacts. The negative impacts are far reaching for the environment, economy and society. It is important to prevent the spread of INNS, understand the locations where INNS are found and appropriately manage populations in our environment.

We encourage everyone to get involved with using INNS Mapper to report sightings of INNS.

For those also going out to survey and manage INNS, such as Local Action Groups (LAGs) and volunteer groups, INNS Mapper is the tool to report and share survey and management information, which will help coordinate effective INNS management. The identification of photos provided in sighting records can be verified by users of INNS Mapper using the ‘verify’ function. Additional information on the INNS and ID guides are also available. INNS Mapper was developed and funded by multiple organisations, please visit the app/website for more
information.
