Rapid Response Plan for Aquatic Invasive Species
Maryland Sea Grant College Program.
The Rapid
Response Planning for Aquatic Invasive Species:
A Maryland Example (Jan 2009; PDF | 11.5 MB) serves as a tool
for states in the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond
to
use in developing their own Rapid Response Plans.
A template version
allows agencies
to tailor the plan to address their specific needs.
This example document is a result of the
state of Maryland's use of the template. The Mid-Atlantic
Panel encourages states in the
Mid-Atlantic and elsewhere to download the template to customize
your State's rapid response and also provides an Aquatic
Invasive Species Sighting Report (PDF | 74 KB) form
for use in your agency.
