Non-native species introduced to Antarctica, 1911-2023
This dataset curates over 200 records of known non-native species introductions to Antarctica, where introductions are considered to include inadvertent and deliberate introductions to the environment where the specimen/s were not immediately removed. Each record contains information on occurrence status, location coordinates, observation year, estimated survival time and more. The dataset was compiled by Theme 2 of the SCAR Scientific Research Programme Ant-ICON (Integrated Science to inform Antarctic and Southern Ocean Conservation).
This project was supported by NERC core funding to the BAS Environment Office and Biodiversity, Evolution, and Adaptation Team, and by the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851.

The information for each occurrence record was carefully checked by members of the project team, and where anything was unclear a discussion was had. Uncertainties are reflected in the ''occurenceRemarks'' field.
NA''s are included where the information in that cell is non-applicable (for example, ''eradictionYear'' for records where the species is still currently present). Cells with ''no data'' mean that the relevant information was not available in the listed references or was so unclear that it could not be included with any certainty.
