A. Identification and Validation

The Identification and Validation component of the National EDRR Framework represents a public interface to a group of tools that will assist users in correctly identifying suspected invasive species. It serves as a filter to help minimize false reporting.

* If you know about keys, guides, and other online tools for identifying invasive species that you think should be included in this list, please contact Annie Simpson (asimpson@usgs.gov) or Elizabeth Sellers (esellers@usgs.gov).
