The Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) WG is a new PNAMP workgroup formed in January 2008. PNAMP held a work session to identify actions we can take to advance the early detection network for AIS via collaboration with existing monitoring programs in the Pacific Northwest. Specific emphasis was placed on finding actions that assist with implementation of this idea during the 2008 field season. We also discussed the need for improved coordination among AIS data and information management systems and identified next steps with respect to meeting this need. The focus was to get beyond identification of general coordination, communication, and data management needs to identify specific near-term actions to improve early detection capabilities. The work session used two recent pilot efforts to elucidate the issue of incorporating existing aquatic/riparian invasive species surveys into a comprehensive monitoring and information management program and to jump start our conversations by sharing their ‘lessons learned’. The documents from this meeting can be found here. Goals and Objectives
