Monitoring and management of coypu and muskrat - Innovative methods developed by the LIFE-MICA project and their application for monitoring and management of invasive alien species beyond the project
MICA (Management of Invasive Coypu and MuskrAt in Europe) is an EU-LIFE project with the aim to develop management strategies for invasive coypus (Myocastor coypus) and muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) in Europe. From 2019 to 2023, innovative methods for population control of these species were tested in cooperation between German, Dutch and Flemish institutions. In the LIFE-MICA project, innovative methods for monitoring and management of coypus and muskrats were developed and tested in 11 project areas in Flanders, the Netherlands and Germany. The aim of LIFE-MICA was to provide tools for coypu and muskrat management that can be employed in further regions with coypu and muskrat occurrence. Generally, those methods could be applied for the management of other invasive alien species as well. This project booklet contains an overview of the developed management tools with some technical information and an outlook on possible application of the methods in invasive species management in general.
