Notes
Common misconceptions about risk assessments:
To address a number of common misconceptions about non-native species risk assessments, the following points should be noted:
– Risk assessments consider only the risks posed by a species. They do not consider the practicalities, impacts or other issues relating to the management of the species. They therefore cannot on their own be used to determine what, if any, management response should be undertaken.
– Risk assessments are advisory and therefore are part of the suite of information on which policy decisions are based.
– Completed risk assessments are not final and absolute. They are an assessment based on the evidence available at that time. Substantive new scientific evidence may prompt a re-evaluation of the risks and/or a change of policy.
