Outsmart Invasive Species

The goal of the project is to strengthen ongoing invasive-species monitoring efforts in Massachusetts by enlisting help from citizens. The web- and smartphone-based approach enables volunteers to identify and collect data on invasive species in their own time, with little or no hands-on training.

EDDMapS West

On September 28, 2010, the MRWC and CISEH launched the EDDMapS West - a customized system that focuses on species that are new or potential new invaders to the Coalition states, and that provides a means of reporting new sightings of select invasive species, a mechanism for alerting appropriate individuals to the reports, and generates distribution maps for the reported species.

New Jersey Invasive Species Strike Team

Searching (Early Detection) & Eradication (Rapid Response): Our fundamental approach to the control of emerging invasive species involves harnessing the stewardship potential of public & private land stewards. Once a site has been searched, eradication activities are planned, taking into consideration the best management practices in place for each invasive species being targeted. When eradication is not fully possible, we work to contain the populations of each target species so that they will not spread.

EDDMapS IPM

EDDMapS IPM is a new app designed to be used by County Extension Agents, crop advisors and extension specialists to report current pest and disease activity in real time via smartphone.  Currently, a few extension specialists in Georgia are testing this app and commodities are hand-selected, allowing us to refine the basic process and work on getting reliable data. Commodities include blueberry, cotton, wheat, vegetables, grain sorghum, corn and soybean. Only a handful of pests are included, with priority given to pests that affect more than one crop and whose presence in one crop may affect management in another. Agents have the option of reporting monthly, weekly or even daily if they deem it necessary. Maps demonstrating up-to-date information are available for download on www.eddmaps.org/ipm/.

Texas Invaders

The Invaders of Texas Citizen Science program collects species observations from volunteer "citizen scientists" trained to use a specially developed Invasive Species Early Detection and Reporting Kit. With this kit, volunteers detect invaders' arrival and dispersal in their own local areas. The purpose of this database is to provide geographical locations and distributional information for known and "potentially" invasive plant species.
