The North American Invasive Species Network (NAISN) is an American 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was formed in 2010 by university and government scientists from across North America. The countries of Mexico and Canada participate as NAISN members through a Memorandum of Understanding. Membership is targeted toward regional university centers and institutes, government institutions, non-profit organizations, research labs, and/or other groups and individuals with invasive species interests and qualifications that are valuable to the mission of NAISN.
iMapInvasives provides an on-line, GIS-based data management system to assist citizen scientists and natural resource managers working to protect natural resources from the threat of invasive species. It includes a mobile phone app and can be used with ArcPad

This review was prepared by the Pacific Invasives Initiative (PII) on request from the Pacific Invasives Partnership (PIP). It was undertaken to examine the invasive species management components within the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans of twelve Pacific island countries (PICs): Cook Islands, Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu.
The current threats posed by invasive species in Northern Ireland are significant. In response to these threats the Department of Environment has developed the Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Northern Ireland. The overarching strategic aim of the Strategy is to minimise the risk posed, and reduce the negative impacts caused, by invasive alien species in Northern Ireland. Increasing awareness and understanding of the risks and issues involved in tackling invasive alien species is a central overarching issue.
The Strategy aims to provide a focus for the South Atlantic Overseas Territories to develop effective prevention and response measures for invasive species and thus reduce damage to their natural heritage, communities, livelihoods and options for future development.
The five strategic goals of the 2012-‐2016 RISC SAP are:
1. Provide updates and recommendations to enable the RISC-‐member Chief Executives to make informed decisions and take effective actions on invasive species policy and management;
2. Promote public awareness and education regarding invasive species and biosecurity;
3. Foster regional and international communication and cooperation on invasive species and biosecurity;
4. Support and recommend the development and implementation of coordinated efforts to enhance regional biosecurity; and,
The goals of the NISS are four-fold and aim to minimize the harmful effects of invasive species on the environment, economy and society of Saint Lucia:
[1] to provide a national framework for invasive species prevention and management;
[2] to prevent introduction and establishment of further invasions;
[3] to reduce the impacts of invasive species already present in the country through a hierarchical approach comprising (i) Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR), (ii) Eradication, (iii) Mitigation and Containment, (iv) Restoration;
The island of Anguilla is currently undergoing major economic development. As a result of this, there is a demand for the importation of labour and material to meet the infrastructural needs on the island. Certainly, this is one method in which various types of organisms have entered territories and established their niche within/throughout different countries. Therefore, it is imperative for the authorities in Anguilla to become aware of the potential risk of various elements of invasive species that may be introduced to the island via the importation of materials and people.
