Biological Effects and Environmental Fate Committee Launches Series of Proposed Invasive Species Standards

摘要

THE SIGNING OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 13112 created the National Invasive Species Council in 1999. With this order, the U.S. federal government acknowledged the adverse effect that invasive species can have to the long-term sustainability of species, communities and ecosystems, while identifying needs that reflect, in part, the role that the development and implementation of standards brings to assessment and monitoring activities that are part of the developing process of invasive species management and control.
