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.

Report from Invasive Species Work Group (Jul 1, 2009)
USDA. National Agricultural Research, Extension, Education, and Economics Advisory Board (NAREEEAB).
At the Nov 2008 general meeting of the National Agricultural Research, Extension, Education and Economics Advisory Board (the Board), a focus session was held on the subject of Invasive Species. During this session, REE Mission Area staff as well as Land Grant University and stakeholder experts updated the Board with respect to current major research needs and other issues associated with invasive species management and control. From these presentations and the discussion that followed this focus session, the Board has summarized its observations and prepared comments for the USDA to consider.

Monitoring Better than EDRR for Managing Many Invasive Plant Populations (May 22, 2009)
Montana State University.
Land managers may benefit from spending more time monitoring invasive plants to identify those that pose the greatest threat, according to a recent article in Invasive Plant Science and Management. The article, "The Rationale for Monitoring Invasive Plant Populations as a Crucial Step for Management (Abstract)," relates results from a study by Montana State University researchers.

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).
