Polar Alien Hunters

Today on Polar Times we're talking aliens! By which we mean invasive non-native species of course. Our guests today are Jesamine Bartlett from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and Arlie McCarthy of the University of Cambridge and British Antarctic Survey who are the founders of Polar Alien Hunters. 

Your host, once again, is Jack Buckingham who will be asking WHAT are invasive species? HOW do they get to polar place? WHY are they bad news and most importantly CAN we do anything about it?
