C. Expert Verification

The Expert Verification component of the National EDRR Framework provides a set of tools that supports verification of submitted specimens by participating science experts and others. Some tools may overlap with the User Identification and Validation Component.

* If you know about other online sources of invasive species experts and expertise that you think should be included in this list, please contact Annie Simpson (asimpson@usgs.gov) or Elizabeth Sellers (esellers@usgs.gov).
