Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

There are two decrees referenced in this article to justify inclusion of species. The first [1] has a number of lists
list 1 - introduced species in mainland Portugal considered Invasive
list 2 - Non-indigenous species not considered invasive
list 3 - Non-indigenous species with known ecological risk (potentially invasive)
The second is [2], and is desgined to prevent species from becoming invasive. It has a list of species that are considered invasive in mainland Portugal. But the definition here is "alien species whose introduction into nature or propagation in a given territory threatens or has an adverse impact on biological diversity and ecosystem services associated with it, or has other adverse impacts;" also "The holding, cultivation, breeding, trade, introduction into nature
and repopulation of specimens of species included in the National
List of Invasive Species referred to in the following article is
prohibited."
The list in particular consists of "a) Exotic species for which there is scientific and
technical information that allows classifying them as invasive
in mainland Portugal; b) Exotic species in relation to which
there is scientific and technical information that allows
classifying them as invasive in the Autonomous Regions of
the Azores and Madeira, considering the provisions of
paragraph 3 of article 43; c) Exotic species considered
ecological risk or classified as invasive in national norms or
in international instruments ratified by Portugal; d)
Invasive alien species that raise concern in the Union,
identified in a list adopted under Regulation"
It is clear that the list is actually includes potentially invasive species that have yet to become established, and thus cannot be used alone to substantiate inclusion in this list. Jameel the Saluki (talk) 05:05, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
