Aggregating and disseminating invasive species data in a standardized way.The Global Invasive Species Information Network (GISIN) provides a platform for sharing invasive species information at a global level, via the Internet and other digital means. Why should invasive alien species data providers share their data directly through GISIN?
Latest developments... February 11, 2011- GLEDN-GISIN Data Provider Training Workshop via remote-access. To facilitate data sharing with the Great Lakes Early Detection Network (GLEDN) and throughout the Great Lakes region, a GLEDN-GISIN Data Provider Training Workshop was held by remote access. The GLEDN is a collaboration among multiple stakeholders working to rapidly respond to new invasive plant species sightings in the Great Lakes states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York). To accomplish this, a web-based alert system automatically sends emails to GLEDN users when new sightings for species or areas of interest are entered into one of GISIN's member data management systems. As new sightings are reported, a network of professionals in the region will be available to verify new sightings and natural resource managers will be notified to take appropriate management actions.
