Nonindigenous Aquatic Species, Center for Aquatic Resource Studies, Florida Integrated Science Center, USGS, U.S. Department of the Interior
Data Center Description
Nonindigenous Aquatic Species originally started with the passage of the
Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Species Control and Prevention Act of 1990. The
goal of the information system is to provide timely, reliable data about the
presence and distribution of Nonindigenous aquatic species.
The Data Repository and Information Management uses geographic information
system (GIS) technology supported by significant information management and
analysis capability, and a computerized data repository to collect, analyze and
disseminate information about the presence and distribution of Nonindigenous
aquatic species and their effects.
Reporting and findings for the GIS will be directly presented by the Center or
through intermediaries, such as university researchers, State fish and wildlife
agency staff, Sea Grant Marine Advisory Service agents, and research
laboratories.
