Environmentalists gather in Jersey to discuss Asian Hornet
Environmentalists from across the British Isles are in Jersey today to share ideas on how to detect and control Asian Hornets.
The British-Irish Council are holding a two-day technical workshop involving environment representatives from the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Ireland, the UK and France, as well as scientists and experts from Jersey.
They will discuss Jersey's approach in which the States and island volunteers work together to locate and destroy nests, in addition to the island's wider Invasive Species Strategy.
Talks are underway to establish what funding is necessary for these measures to stay in place.
Asian Hornets were first seen in the Channel Islands in 2016.
Their spread began in France when they were accidentally introduced in 2004.
