This Morning we will be diving into an important environmental story that's making waves in South Africa's fight against invasive species.
We're thrilled to have with us Professor Julie Coetzee, a leading expert in biological control and the management of freshwater alien invasive species.
Professor Coetzee will be discussing the exciting release a weevil that's been specifically chosen to combat the invasive Salvinia minima, threatening our precious freshwater ecosystems.
This initiative, spearheaded by the National Research Foundation in collaboration with Rhodes University, marks a significant step forward in our efforts to protect South Africa's aquatic environments.
Professor Coetzee, who also serves as the Deputy Director at Rhodes University’s Centre for Biological Control and Principal Scientist at the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, will share insights on the research behind this biological control method and what we can expect moving forward.
So, let's get right into it. Professor Coetzee, thank you for joining us today. Can you tell us more about the significance of this weevil release and what it means for our fight against invasive species?"
