An Action Plan on Invasive Species
Download: NECIS Action Plan
The impacts of invasive species go well beyond a local site or a single state. Countless expert reports from public and private groups have brought attention to these impacts and called for federal action to address invasive species problems. To date, progress has been woefully inadequate. However, there are opportunities to act. We call upon President Obama and the 111th Congress to immediately take the following steps to benefit our nation:
1. Screen intentional imports
2. Prevent inadvertent introductions
3. Fund early detection and response
4. Create and support federal leadership
5. Fill other funding gaps
