Florida Invasive Species Partnership (FISP)

If landowners and land managers in Florida wish to achieve long-term success, it is critical to:

  • Reach out and collaborate with all stake holders, including private landowners.
  • Focus on prevention as well as treatment.

Goals:

  • Increase effectiveness and decrease costs by working together.
  • Provide tools to develop a unified approach and bridge the gap between landowners.
  • Encourage development and implementation of new and innovative approaches.

Objectives:

  • Develop Incentive Program Matrix of existing incentive programs that could target the problem on public and private lands.
  • Establish Matrix on an interactive website
  • Promote partnership efforts, such as Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMA), to encourage collaborative efforts on a statewide, regional and local level.
  • Provide central "clearinghouse" for CWMAs and innovative approaches.
