National Invasive Species Council (NISC)

NISC logo In early 1999, the President issued an Executive Order on Invasive Species which established an Invasive Species Council Exit EPA Disclaimer and charged it with developing a cross-agency National Invasive Species Management Plan. A draft Plan (PDF format) Exit EPA Disclaimer was published in October 2000; after review of agency and public comments on the draft Plan, the Council will issue a final Plan and move into Plan implementation in early 2001. Plan actions fall into one of six categories: (1) international cooperation, (2) prevention, (3) education and outreach, (4) early detection, (5) control and management, and (6) research.
