State ANS Plans

red capital letters ANS with smaller blue

The ANS Task Force encourages state and interstate planning entities to develop management plans describing detection and monitoring efforts of aquatic nuisance species, prevention efforts to stop their introduction and spread, and control efforts to reduce their impacts. Plans approved by the ANSTF are eligible for funding under the Aquatic Nuisance Species Control and Prevention Act.
