Hello- this is relevant to natural sciences collections in England. Išve
been in touch with the NW person, and there is clearly a role for museums
in this. If anyone else is interested in supporting invasive species
research/management/policy, the contact details are below. Išve said we
provide access to enormous stored collections of specimens with data, and
will accept vouchers. Išd be interested to know if any of you also go for
this.
Yours,
Henry
