  1. INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT: STATE AND NATIONAL INTERAGENCY TEAMS Nelroy E. Jackson Consultant, Vegetation Management Corona, CA

  2. INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENTThe Framework • Environmental, Economic and Social Impacts • Local, State, Regional, National and Global Scope or Spheres of Influence

  3. Movement of species both intentionally and unintentionally is an ongoing process. Levetin and McMahon, 1996

  4. Every Continent has probably been the donor and recipient of invasive species • The USA has given invasive species to other countries. Lufthansa

  5. Advancements in transportation technologies, increased trade, greater tourism, and population are reducing transit times & increasing exchanges of organisms. Lufthansa

  6. California Interagency Activity • CINWCC – California Interagency Noxious Weed Coordinating Committee • Established by MOU • State and Federal Agency with “Friends” attending the meetings • Publish Noxious times • No Statutory Authority

  7. California Interagency Activity • Interagency Aquatic Invasive Species Council • Established by SB 1573 (Karnette) in September 2002 • Structure drafted but the Council is still unfunded • Under the Dept. of Fish & Game

  8. ANSTF – Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force • The Western Regional Panel has state participation • Operates under a federal law that needs reauthorization

  9. California invasive weed awareness coalition

  16. 1. NISC OVERVIEW Executive Order 13112 Established by EO to ensure that Federal activities are: • Coordinated • Complimentary • Cost-efficient • Effective (Issued in February of 1999) Council’s Co-Chairs: Interior, Agriculture & Commerce Members: DOT, DOD, Treasury, State, EPA, HHS, USAID; USTR, DHS, & NASA. About 35 Federal agencies share the responsibility and authority for invasive species and as do all 50 states, tribes, local governments, and territories.

  20. The Plan’s 57 numbered Action Items call for about 168 identifiable actions. Of the ca. 168 identifiable actions, about 100require an on-going commitment of resources once established to coordinate the remainder (70) are “discrete” in that they require little coordination once completed. All of the Plan’s 57 Action Items require a continuing effort by agencies to implement.

  21. The National Management Plan: Sections • Leadership and Coordination • Prevention • Early Detection and Rapid Response • Control and Management • Restoration

  22. The National Management Plan: Sections (cont’d) • International Cooperation • Research • Information Management • Education and Public Awareness

  23. NISC SUCCESS

  24. FEDERAL INTERAGENCY GROUPS ON INVASIVE SPECIES • ANSTF – Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force (housed in the Fish and Wildlife Service) • FICMNEW – Federal Interagency Committee for Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds • ITAP – Federal Interagency Committee for Invasive Animals and Pathogens

  25. FEDERAL INTERAGENCY GROUPS ON INVASIVE SPECIES • Authority • Level of Participation • Funding • Budget • Influence

  26. What does this have to do with California? • Mirror/microcosm of the USA • Coastal, inland, desert and montane habitats • Four large ports • Borders with 3 states and 2 countries • Huge highway and railroad systems • High airline passenger and cargo movement

  27. What does this have to do with California? • We (CA) had input into the National Management Plan • California has a lot of Invasive Species • Economic Damage • Environmental injury • People seek CA Leadership onthe issue • Different Models – WMA’s & CINWCC

  28. Where do you get the Biggest Bang for the Buck? • Leadership and Coordination • Prevention • Early Detection and Rapid Response • Control and Management • Restoration • International Cooperation • Research • Information Management • Education and Public Awareness

  29. The California ProcessThe Five C’s • Cooperation – no obstructionism • Consultation – what we are doing today • Collaboration – active support • Communication – a two-way street • Coordination – we must have Leadership, Vision and Focus

  30. The California ProcessThe three R’s • Risks – nothing is Free • Rights – we each defend our own turf • Responsibilities – we all have them • We can’t have one without the other!

  31. THE RIGHT TIME? • In May 1994, John Randall and I presented a proposal to your Executive Committee for the appointment of an “Weed Coordinator” or“Exotics Czar” • The time was not right then. But, I gather that the Vision and Mission are different now.
