Summary
Abstract: The Natural Resource Management and Assessment
Program (NRMAP) database contains the most
comprehensive data available about nonindigenous
(exotic) species for NPS units. Initial data
collection for the database occurred in 1993, and
an update is in progress for data collected since
1996. The data were collected from 269 NPS units
in 1993 and more than 300 in 1996. NPS Exotic
