  • AIS in Minnesota - Aquatic Invasive Species Identification Guidebook for Minnesota

    • 2021

    • University of Minnesota. Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center.

    • This ID book contains tips for identifying a number of aquatic invasive species (AIS) that are considered high-risk to Minnesota waters, as well as some common native lookalike species. The 3rd Edition of the guide was released in 2021and includes information for aquatic and wetland plants, invertebrates, and fish. The ID book can be accessed by downloading a printable version, or you can purchase it through the University of Minnesota Bookstore, or you will receive a copy if you become an AIS Detector.

  • Alabama Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan Approved

    • Feb 17, 2022

    • Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

    • Recent approval of the Alabama Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan opens avenues of federal funding for the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR), Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division and Marine Resources Division to deal with aquatic invasive species in Alabama’s abundant waterways. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey submitted the aquatic invasive species plan to the Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Task Force, an entity of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the recent approval means Alabama will be eligible for up to $100,000 annually to combat aquatic invasive species.

  • Alaska Aquatic Invasive Species Clearinghouse (AK Aqua)

    • University of Alaska - Anchorage. Alaska Center for Conservation Science.

    • The Alaska Aquatic Invasive Species Clearinghouse (AK Aqua) is a database and mapping application that provides temporal and geospatial information for invasive aquatic species in Alaska. Taxa profiles and associated planning documents are provided for many of the species listed in AK Aqua. These data are primarily intended to support the identification of problem species, thus promoting early detection and rapid response across Alaska. Data are also used in a variety of research and modeling activities.

    • The Alaska IPM program (AK IPM) addresses the public need for pest management education within the state.

  • Alaska Invasive Species Partnership Strategic Plan 2023-2028

    • 2023

    • Alaska Invasive Species Partnership.

    • In the spring of 2023, the AKISP Board and Membership approved the 2023-2028 AKISP Strategic Plan. This plan is the culmination of a multi-year effort to frame goals, strategies, actions, and evaluation measures which intend to guide Partnership members activities and collaboration at statewide, regional and local levels. Many agencies and organizations participated in identifying priorities for future invasive species work in Alaska.

  • Alaska Report Invasive Species

    • Alaska Invasive Species Partnership.

    • Reporting options are available depending on type of species found. Reports submitted to the Alaska Invasive Species Hotline and the online reporting tools are sent to agencies and organizations with interest and responsibility for managing invasive species.

  • Alaska Submit-A-Tick Program

    • Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. Division of Environmental Health. State Veterinarian.

    • In 2019, the Alaska Office of the State Veterinarian, in collaboration with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the University of Alaska, began the Alaska Submit-A-Tick Program. Through this program, individuals who find ticks on themselves, their family members, pets, or wildlife (e.g. hunted or trapped animals) can submit ticks for species identification and pathogen testing. Researchers are asking Alaskans to submit ticks to help determine which tick species are currently in the state. Tick submissions will also help us learn more about how ticks are being imported into Alaska so that we can create effective strategies to limit their introduction. Ticks can transmit bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can cause diseases in humans and wildlife. Pathogen testing allows us to assess tickborne disease risk in the state.
