The Invasive Lionfish Web Portal, developed by the Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute in partnership with NOAA, supports the management and control of lionfish in conservation areas along the Southeast coast of the U.S. and Caribbean.
The topic of invasive alien species accounts for nearly 14 per cent of published peer-reviewed uses of data from the GBIF network, with almost 1,300 papers relating to invasives recorded in the archive of GBIF-enabled research compiled through its literature tracking programme.
Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. Western Aquatic Invasive Species Resource Center.
The purpose of this toolkit is to assist local governments with navigating the regulatory framework associated with high-risk priority aquatic invasive species (AIS). Note: In 2020, the National Sea Grant Law Center and project partner, Creative Resources Strategies, LLC, received funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct research on the role of municipalities in aquatic invasive species (AIS) prevention efforts. This project resulted in the development of an online toolkit to help local governments navigate the regulatory framework associated with high-risk priority AIS.
The Managed Pollinator Protection Plans (MP3) Working Group is funded by the North Central IPM Center. The group includes about 40 extension educators and specialists, apiary inspectors, and professionals from state and national agencies who work together to share resources and develop educational materials to promote pollinator stewardship. The working group developed presentations and online courses to train pesticide applicators in pollinator protection. The training materials topics include pollinator appreciation, pesticide toxicity and risk to bees, pesticide labels, and planting for bees. The working group aims to provide practical, science-based recommendations to pesticide applicators that they can be part of the bee health solution.
