To address mounting concerns over invasive plants and the role NHDOT activities play in the spread of these plants along roadsides, Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been developed with input from Maintenance Districts, the Roadside Development Section, the Bureau of Construction, and the NH Department of Agriculture. Implementation of these BMPs will help prevent the spread of invasive plants caused by maintenance and construction activities.

Maryland's commercial harvesters and fisheries managers are collaborating to preserve the commercial fisheries of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Innovative management and marketing techniques are being brought together to energize the commercial fishing industry. Commercial landings for invasive fishes include blue catfish and northern snakeheads. Learn more about becoming a commercial harvester and making money on selling invasive fishes. Commercial fishing has expanded to include invasive fishes, which are highly palatable and ones that Marylanders hope can be harvested at levels that minimize their ecological impacts to the natural resources we want to protect.

There are two basic approaches to limiting the spread of invasive species: a species-by-species assessment of the risks or benefits of admitting or excluding species, and a policy based on controlling pathways of entry in which vigilance is maintained on incoming ballast tanks, cargo holds, packing materials, and similar vehicles for unwanted organisms. These two approaches may complement each other. Policymakers also may emphasize prevention over post hoc control or vice-versa, or they may adopt a combination of the two approaches.

The overall health of Iowa’s forests require monitoring not only our native plants and animals, but also invasive insects, plants, and weeds.
See also: The Forest Invasive Species Guide highlights 19 invasive trees, shrubs, and plants and includes quick ID photos and text as well as common management techniques for controlling each species.

IPM Institute of North America is a non-profiit formed to focus on improving sustainability in agriculture and throughout communities.

IPM of Midwest Landscapes is available for educating growers, landscapers, managers, and consumers in the principles of IPM and its application to managing the over 150 common insect species in Midwest landscapes.
