Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin
Study (GLMRIS)
DOD. USACE.
Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study.
The USACE hosted 12 NEPA
(National Environmental Policy Act) public scoping
meetings held in various states. Public comments were accepted from Nov 2010 through Mar 31, 2011. Meeting transcripts are posted as they become available. USACE will evaluate a range of options
and technologies (collectively known as
"ANS controls") to prevent the spread of aquatic nuisance species between the
Great Lakes and Mississippi River by aquatic pathways. See Getting
Involved to
learn how to participate in GLMRIS.

Healthy
Habitats Coalition
North American Weed Management Association.
Healthy Habitats Coaltion (HHC) is a collective
group, working to enhance invasive species control
(all taxa) with various parters. The goal of the HHC
is to secure federal funding and enact legislation
to protect the nation's land and waters from the harmful
economic and environmental impacts of invasive species.
HHC includes non-governmental organizations, industry,
academia, state and county agencies, and invasive species
managers striving to:
• reduce economic and environmental harm caused
by invasive species;
• advocate structural and
budgetary change within the federal government
to achieve long-term prevention and management of invasive
species;
• coordinate invasive species management
efforts across federal, state, and local organizations
As a supporting point, the Western Governors
have recently passed a new Policy
Resolution 10-4"Combating
Invasive
Species" (DOC | 88 KB) that focuses on the regional
issue, provides supportive policy and
has outlined certain directives. |

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.

Roadside
Revegetation Portal - An Integrated Approach
to Establishing Native Plants
DOT.
Federal Highway Administration.
This site contains three integrated and interlinked modules dedicated to explaining
the art and science of roadside revegetation. The Roadside Revegetation online
portal was prepared for the Coordinated Technology Implementation Program (CTIP).

Eastern
Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center (EFETAC) and
Forest Threat Summary Viewer
USDA.
Forest Service.
The mission of the Eastern Forest Environmental
Threat Assessment Center is to generate, integrate,
and apply knowledge to predict, detect, and assess
environmental threats to public and private forests
of the east, and to deliver this knowledge to managers
in ways that are timely, useful, and user friendly.

about invasive species, their control and management, and their
impacts on our environment.
