In May 2005, the first Workshop on Invasive Plants in the Mediterranean Type Regions of the World was organized in Mèze (France), all outcomes of this workshop - presentations, proceedings and the Mèze Declaration are available on the EPPO website. A second workshop will be organized in Trabzon, on the Black Sea on 2010-08-02/06.
The first workshop was successful and allowed many exchanges between participants and opportunities to discuss specific and concrete topics; the second workshop is organized in the same spirit.
This workshop will be co-organized by the Turkish Plant Protection Organization, the Council of Europe and EPPO. The organization of the workshop is still in its preliminary phase, and co-organizers, sponsors are most welcome. The workshop will consist of 2 days of presentations and discussions, and will be followed by 2 days of field work to create inventories of the exotic flora of the Trabzon area and to contribute to the knowledge on invasive alien plants. This Workshop is open to civil servants (NPPOs, Ministries of Environment), researchers, the horticultural industry and trade, land managers, etc.
