With enormous environmental, economic, and health costs, invasive species are second only to habitat destruction as a cause of global biodiversity loss. As a result, local, state, and national organizations have taken steps to prevent or control the spread of invasives. Identification guides, reporting systems, control strategies, management plans, and restoration procedures have been developed to address invasive species.

CollapseAquatic Invasive Species Programs and Activities: 50-State Summary (PDF, 76 pp., 445 KB)
Description: We inventoried AIS-related management actions in all 50 states to determine what information may be needed to allow AIS managers to consider and incorporate predicted global change impacts into their programs. For each state we documented the status of AIS management plans, state programs and activities, climate change concerns, climate change actions, and research activities and needs.
